General Comments
Whilst initially hesitant to do a winter E2E, I was happy to accompany my good friend Marita Johnson (Parton). I was very sad when she had to withdraw at Collie through injury. I enjoyed being accompanied by Chris (Me) and then Steve (Pseudo Solo Steve) for the rest of my journey
Food/Supplies Comments
Main food was prepared and dehydrated at home and dropped at towns ready for our arrival, thanks to my support food droppers. Incidentals and yummy non track meals were sourced at the track towns.
