Track Towns and Supplies

Did you have any issues finding food/supplies? Yes
Track towns usually had the supplies I needed, but no always what I wanted, smaller town did not sell my beloved Hob Nobs. I did not bring a stove and ate meals that did not require cooking e.g. Couscous, wraps, bircher muesli

Your Story or Advice for Others

General Comments
My longest self guided hike so far (longest I had hike before was 100km - MacLehose Trail in Hong Kong). I had hoped to finish in 50 days, so to do it in 44 days with my legs still in good health and my equipment largely intact with barely any mishaps, was better than my expectations.

Your Best Equipment
My phone. Navigation, journal, camera and entertainment at night (music, audio books and podcasts)

Your Worst Equipment
My Sawyer filter felt unnecessary as water quality of rainwater from the tanks was good.

Advice for Others
Check into accommodations before resupplying. Free food might have been left behind at your accommodations by other hikers.
