Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsCannot put into words how incredible this experience was. I didn't want it to finish! I would have turned around and walked south to north if I could!
Your Best Equipment
- My deuter pack (it has been with me all over the world) . - Zorali hiking pants. - Vivo barefoot hiking boots. I didn't get any blisters or hotspots! These boots were amazing! - montane puffy jacket. - sleeping setup (sea to summit seeing bag and thermarest mat) I could go on..... I am pretty proud of my gear set up for this hike.
Your Worst Equipment
Hmmmm I didn't use much of my skincare I took with me so I got rid of that. My GoPro decided not to work after I had carried it all the way to Northcliffe!
Advice for Others
Enjoy yourself! Do the hike your way. Whether that's doing 3 huts a day or hiking at a snail pace. It's not a race and everyone gets enjoyment from different challenges ????

This is too hard! I loved Beavis hut, the monadnocks area, Rame Head hut, and the trail along the coast leaving Denmark.
Highlight of your trip
Being freaked out by wild pigs - that was scary. I loved the challenges such as wading waist deep outside of Northcliffe and being in the karri forest with thunderstorms. The people I met were awesome. I will keep in contact with them
