I dehydrated my own meals and sent them to Visitor Centres along the way. Trail towns generally had good supplies too.

Your Story or Advice for Others

General Comments
I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to walk the track. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to all the volunteers who support and maintain such and incredible asset.

Your Best Equipment
My Aarn backpack, Durston XMid Pro IP tent, Neve quilt and my trekking poles.

Your Worst Equipment
A poncho was totally useless in high winds on the beach - not surprising (it was great otherwise).

Advice for Others
If you feel drawn to walk the track then get out walking! Short sections, long sections - it doesn't matter. Work with the time you have and within your limits.
