Non Stop walk with Back flip and Pike. My original plan was to walk from Sydney to Newcastle along the Great North Walk in one continuous push. I was carrying enough food and gear for the whole walk, and had enough water storage to get through the longest, driest sections of the route. In …

Here is what I’m taking with me for this walk, maybe useful to anyone else doing this walk. If you are going to camp along the way and spend the usual week or two doing the walk, you’ll obviously need a lot more gear: Equipment Pack: Macpac Amp Race 40 Shoes: Saucony Xodus 3.0 …
Getting closer to setting of on the walk, and looking forward to it. Have in mind a long weekend in early to mid November 2012. Seems the GNW is actually between 260km and 274km in total, after adding up all the individual sections described online. Using the “two day section” descriptions on wildwalks.com I make it …
Cedar Valley Traverse, March 2012. Party: Saul Richardson, Jono Savery. At the start of 2012 both of us were looking to improve our fitness and lose weight. I challenged Jono to do the Blue Mountains Three Peaks walk with me in July, and he agreed. I thought it would be good to get him to …

This began as a “straightforward” long walk of 138km from Mittagong to Katoomba along mostly dirt trails. What should have taken around 40 hours turned into a weekend epic, and quite an adventure. It involved landslides, floods, feral animals, hallucinations and even a light plane flight. The aim was to walk nonstop from Mittagong station to Katoomba …
