Track Towns and Supplies
- Did you have any issues finding food/supplies? Yes
- Can get everything you need in track towns, no food drops or postage needed if you are not to fussy and reasonably fit. Would recommend doing it this way of you are not dehydrating. Gives you alot more flexiblity around towns and changing tastes.
Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsGreat track really enjoyed it
Your Best Equipment
Picked up a buff near the end, really love it. Having a nice warm sleeping bag was worth every penny
Your Worst Equipment
Cables for cheap earphones kept breaking, only options to buy in small towns were more cheap earphones so the cycle continued
Advice for Others
If you have the privilege to work flexiblability into your plan do it! You never know when you are going to meet people you click with and want to spend more time with. Also remember to take rest days, doing two short days wasn't a substitute for me at least
