Your Story or Advice for Others

General Comments
Our intention was to walk E2E in one go. This had to change at short notice as the track was closed due to flooding between Pemberton and Walpole. We had to reschedule this section to be completed separately. Have a plan but be flexible where needed.

Your Best Equipment
Hiking poles and padded seating mat

Your Worst Equipment
Pack rain cover which failed during a torrential downpour heading into Pemberton.

Advice for Others
Enjoy every step.
