Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsI would like to see theTtrack incorporate more dedicated bush paths with less existing firebreaks. Some of the south coast sections need the path to go across the sandhills at an even grade rather than at 90 deg to the slope.
Your Best Equipment
Gortex boots, backpack, downmat & sleeping bag.
Your Worst Equipment
Replaced it all as the trip progressed.
Advice for Others
Take your time and go slowly. Enjoy the moment and always make the journey more important than the destination.
