Your Story or Advice for Others

General Comments
Prepare by hiking with lighweight gear. You don't need your comforts you have at home and no one likes a heavy pack hiking out of town. Check hiker boxes before resupplying. Resupply in town it helps local communities and enjoy the pubs and cafes along the way.

Your Best Equipment
Our backpacks hyperlite and sawyer squeeze.

Your Worst Equipment
Pillow - it broke.

Advice for Others
Stay lightweight. We met many hikers who were suffering with sore feet and shoulders from heavy packs. Go to the local pubs or cafes and met the locals. Check the weather and take each section as a new hike. Check hiker boxes for gas and food at visitor centres. Enjoy and hike on.
