Your Story or Advice for Others

General Comments
Don't ignore the track closures and diversions! Have a plan B for inlet crossings. They could naturally bleach.

Your Best Equipment
Neve gear Waratah sleeping quilt. Once I learnt how to set it up properly, it kept me very warm.

Your Worst Equipment
Osprey Ariel 55 AG. It was size small but too big for me especially since I started to loose weight. It kept sliding off my hips.

Advice for Others
Hike your hike, take it easy, and just enjoy!
