So prior to departing had posted the schedule of what we had hoped to achieve.  We used schedules provided online by others who had previously done the end to end journey as a guide and just modified things a little to our expectations.

I also want to mention that I was not racing to do the hike as fast as I could, rather I was just out enjoying myself.  As I was Solo I was able to hike when i wanted to hike and chill out when i wanted to chill out.  I don't like chilling out!  The last 6 - 7 days were lighter days kms wise as I was slowing down so I could meet my Wife at Mt Erica car park at noon on the wednesday.  This was the only suitable time for us to meet.  Massive thank you again to Tim for driving Megan out there and then the next day driving out again, bringing my kids with him.
