- Tasty food at the end of a day was a real treat. I really enjoyed learning to dehydrate a variety of meals. Only hiccup was mistaking powdered parmesan cheese for dehydrated milk one morning in my cup of tea. That was a surprise!

Love my little tent, my hiking poles and my merino clothes.

No bad equipment luckily. I recently updated my sleeping mat to a slightly warmer one for colder hikes. And early on I swapped hiking boots for light weight trail runners.

Highlight of your trip
Having some of my family join me for a few of the walks and as trail angels (thanks Greg and Jake). Sunsets at Waalegh, West Cape Howe and Mt Chance, the constant companion of creeks and rivers in the Donnelly River to Pemberton section, meeting and chatting with other hikers. Plus, I had loads of fun looking for orchids along the way!
