General Comments

Totally different experience to my first E2E in 2017.  Much drier in swamp lands between Northcliffe and Walpole.  Flowers better in the north but not so good along the coast.

Food/Supplies Comments

Much greater availability of Backcountry freeze dry meals than last time.

Favourite Section

Coast

Highlights

Boat Harbour, Donnelly River Villiage, view from Sandpatch (and the speed with which the shelter is being replaced).

Personal Reactions

Taking a rest day in towns makes the walk more enjoyable and helps locals economies.

Wildlife

Lots of snakes along the coast.

Your Best Equipment

S2S MC III Sleeping bag.

Advice for Others

Allow enough time to really enjoy the experience.
