Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsI now understand why walkers get to the end and turn around and start walking back, and why walkers keep on returning time and time again. I had to experience the 9 weeks to understand this.
Your Best Equipment
Umbrella for the forest sections. Thermarest z seat. Comfy dry footwear to change into on arrival at the shelters.
Your Worst Equipment
Old fashioned heavy equipment. It has to go.
Advice for Others
Walking the Track in winter definitely has benefits.

Your Experience
As I walked my love for the sections grew in intensity. This I think was more about the connection that was developing between the Track and me, rather than a section comparison.
Highlight of your trip
Meeting and connecting with other walkers. Fantastic infrastructure. A lifestyle that was both simple and incredibly rich.
