Earlier I alluded to some cool things going on, and I thought I should actually tell you about them

Some crazy friends of mine are shortly going to attempt to walk the Tasmanian Trail in 16 days. That is 480km from the Devonport to Dover (the top to the bottom on Tassie). From what I can see, the average time for it to be done in foot is around 30 days, hahaha. Now, I can’t get 16 days off work at the moment, but I can get a week, so I am going to join them. Hooray!

I’ll be joining them on the last leg of their trip, hopefully when they have tired themselves out and I am able to keep up with them a bit more easily. As a training / test to make sure I can keep up, I’ll be joining one of them on a full day hike along the most northern section of the Great North Walk tomorrow, rain, hail or shine.

It should be great – its about a 27km stroll from Teralba to Newcastle CBD, and rain is predicted. Bwahahahaha.

I’m working from home today, so I can’t go into all the details, but I’ll post at the end of the weekend letting you all know how it went and to give you some more juicy bits and pieces about the Tassie trip. Thats if this trial walk goes ok tomorrow
