General Comments
After completing an E2E in 2018 and having walked lots of diversions, including missing 5 shelters due to prescribed burns, something felt wrong and I had unfinished business. So I decided to come back and walk it all over again.
Food/Supplies Comments
I sent parcels down the track and purchased fruit and veg in trail towns
Favourite Section
Mandalay Beach all the way south
Highlights
Having a shelter buddy most nights this year, whereas I spent most nights alone last year
Personal Reactions
Mentally it was a lot easier this time around, having done it all before. Physically it was just as hard
Wildlife
Lots including plenty of snakes, roos and my first echidna on the trail
Your Best Equipment
My MSR tent, I slept in my tent or at least the inner tent every night. Kept the bugs out and gave me my own private little sanctuary
Your Worst Equipment
My sea-to-summit spoon, on both E2E it broke at Woolbales, for whatever reasons. Funny same hut twice in a row.
Advice for Others
Its just walking, whichever speed you choose.
