We loved all of it

Food/Supplies Comments

Plan carefully but make sure you have enough.

Favourite Section

Pemberton to Northcliffe

Highlights

Too many - but to name some: the feeling of satisfaction with finishing the track, completing crossings which we didn’t expect to be as challenging; reaching a peaceful hut after a long day; the huge variety of flora and fauna.

Wildlife

Amazing variety

Your Best Equipment

Light weight groundsheets x 2 to put our packs on and sit on during breaks.

Your Worst Equipment

Hiking boots which weren’t waterproof (although sold as such)

Advice for Others

Take the time to rest and enjoy the experience and don’t try to rush it.
