AN EXTENDED CASUAL STROLL
FOOD DROP DAYS AND DESTINATIONS
We plan to meet our food drops in the afternoon/early evening at the end of each section.
This means we will camp that night at the food drop destination and begin the next section the following morning.
To avoid delays/communication errors and to allow enough time to make a plan for the next section with all walkers present we ask that you join us in the afternoon/early evening at the food drop destination so we can then start the next section without issues the following morning.
This is necessary as walking plans can be dependent on many factors. For example we sometimes may leave early in the morning (eg. 4am) to beat the heat of the day if there is a stretch of very hot weather.

GETTING BACK HOME AGAIN
We have planned to be at each food drop destination no later than late arvo/early evening on the end date of each section.
Hitching a ride out with whoever does the food drop is a good option. Depending on who does the food drop for us they will either camp with us that night and leave the next morning or drop our food and leave that night. Some places are more accessible than others. So this is something that will have to be organised closer to the time.
