Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsAfter completing an E2E in 2018 and having walked lots of diversions, including missing 5 shelters due to prescribed burns, something felt wrong and I had unfinished business. So I decided to come back and walk it all over again.
Your Best Equipment
My MSR tent, I slept in my tent or at least the inner tent every night. Kept the bugs out and gave me my own private little sanctuary
Your Worst Equipment
My sea-to-summit spoon, on both E2E it broke at Woolbales, for whatever reasons. Funny same hut twice in a row.
Advice for Others
Its just walking, whichever speed you choose.
