2022 has seen me pivot away from doing multi week trips due to a very busy work year combined with lots going on in my personal life. A few months ago Gill and I completed the Great Ocean Walk in southern Victoria and in early December, I (Tim) will be doing a solo hike on the South Coast Track in southern Tasmania. For many years this track was rated as difficult and only really suitable for very experienced hikers. While that’s still the case, many hikers with varied experience are now undertaking this walk with the ever increasing numbers impacting on the trail quality.
At just 85 km in length this track is typically undertaken somewhere between four and eight days based on write-ups I’ve reviewed. The Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service recommends six to eight days so I’ve opted to do this walk in five days. I do have a day up my sleeve if needed just in case water levels on the creeks create delays.
As this post goes to air, I’m in the process of working through the last of my logistics in addition to upping my training in the lead up to commencing the trip.
