Track Towns and Supplies
- Did you have any issues finding food/supplies? Yes
- My brother helped me out with food drops, probably could have gotten by with resupplying in towns. It was good to know you had a resupply box with everything you needed, at certain points along the way.
Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsAn amazing experience - can't wait to do it again!
Your Best Equipment
Probably my good old Kathmandu 50L Altai backpack, it just keeps going and going! So glad I kept the rain pants in upon insistence from the brother, wore them plenty of times and they kept me much drier than I would have been without them! Guthooks was EXTREMELY helpful!
Advice for Others
Just bloody do it!

Your Experience
Around Long Point I found the ocean/cliff views spectacular!
Highlight of your trip
Watching the sunset from the cliff top near Long Point shelter was bloody great and I would say a highlight. My brother surprising me - me finding him sitting at Monadnocks shelter waiting for me, with lots of yummy fresh food, then him walking with me to Mt Cooke, was definitely a day I won't forget.
