We finished!
90kms in 5 days, numerous blisters, lots of wildlife, bush bashing through overgrown tracks to beach walking and sand dunes.
The Great Ocean Walk was definitely not a walk in the park but it was a great training session for walking the Camino de Santiago in 4 months time!
Sarah and I learnt a lot on this trip.
I've now narrowed my packing list to the absolute bare essentials. Although my new backpack is super comfy, carrying 8-10kgs put my knees, ankles and heals to the test.
But I now know how to manage blisters properly and fingers crossed the double socking strategy will help prevent them from popping up.
The highlights of the trip have to include being the first footprints on a massive stretch of beach on day 3. Also the amazing wildlife that just kept appearing when you least expect it including an echidna and the tiger snakes!
Looking forward to Spain, the countdown is on!
