General Comments
This was my second end-to-end. I definitely felt the extra five years in age with aches and pains!
Food/Supplies Comments
I dehydrated most of my evening meals and prepacked all my food. Food drops were done prior to the walk.
Favourite Section
Walpole to Frankland.
Highlights
Tingle trees.
First sighting of the ocean.
Spotting whales on the south coast. Wow!
Personal Reactions
I really hate wading! When I finished three weeks ago, I said never again. I am already thinking, hmmmm, maybe S-N???
Wildlife
Kangas…Snakes…Beautiful birds…...An impressive caterpillar….
Your Best Equipment
Hiking poles - couldn’t do it without them!
Your Worst Equipment
My poncho for rain, though it made a good spare blanket.
Advice for Others
Take your time - don’t make it about getting from A to B. It’s a really hard thing to do - I am still learning.
