Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsAs it took 4 years to complete because we only walked in the cooler months and we could only get 4 days of at a time due to work commitments. I looked forward to the start of trekking season and getting back on the track to enjoy all the experiences and challenges that it throws at you.

Your Worst Equipment
Doing the track over 4 years I had some pretty bad equipment along the way. But as is always the case I had it all dialed in at the end.
