Your Story or Advice for Others

General Comments
A few sections were overgrown, but the track is amazing and the huts are fantastic. I loved sitting around the firepit and chatting. Embrace your days on trail, stop and look around, the sights are amazing

Your Best Equipment
My Armaskin socks, they definitely saved my feet from getting blisters

Your Worst Equipment
My new gortex Salamon shoes, they split after around 400 kms

Advice for Others
Pack only for your needs ... not your fears, go as light as you can, your back and feet will thank you
