General Comments
Thank you very much to all the wonderful volunteers.
Food/Supplies Comments
Got very tired of eating pasta, but the food in the country towns is out of this world.
Favourite Section
Peaceful Bay to Denmark ( I also consider this to be the hardest section).
Highlights
Sitting on top of Mt Cooke listening to music, on a sunny winters day.
Personal Reactions
I did this walk to loose weight, I lost 23kg, so it was a very difficult start. The highlight of this walking is all the amazing people I have met. It’s the people I met that reminded me there are still amazing people in the world.
Wildlife
Love the kangaroos looking at you from cliff tops as you pass by from Peaceful Bay.
Your Best Equipment
My Sea to Summit sleeping mat, my sleeping bag. Pay the extra money for the best gear.
Your Worst Equipment
My backpack. The straps came loose every 2 minutes (literally). The pack is old and too heavy.
Advice for Others
Get out there and give it a go!
