AAWT 2013 Canberra to Melbourne

Its been 11 months since we cancelled our November 2012 attempt at the end to end traverse of the Australian Alps Walking Track.  For months both Tim & myself were shattered at the chance we had missed to get out and discover the AAWT.  A lot has changed for us both in the past 10-11 months and today I can confidently say that life is less complicated then last year.  (Still complicated, but far less)

It our great please to announce that we will be departing on the Australian Alps Walking Track from Tharwa to Melbourne on November 1, 2013.

Both Tim and myself over the past 3-4 months have been quietly going about our preparations.  Looking at our personal fitness, our pack gear and pack weights, nutrition and hydration and all the logistics that go a lot with being out in the bush for an extended period of time.

October 14th 2013 we will be taking a couple days a placing our food drop, except the Rumpff saddle due to the road closure.  October 31, 2013 we will return for that last drop and once we have returned to Melbourne we will jump on the greyhound to Canberra for a November 1, 2013 first day.

Our 36 day schedule would have us arriving in Walhalla the evening of December 6, 2013 so we hope to add a rest day by choice (not necessity!) and arrive at noon on Saturday, December 7, 2013.

Please follow us on my SPOT tracker page which I will post and email around closer to the departure day (and once I'm certain it operating correctly).
