Went with a friend (and Sherpa) of Heidi, who offered to carry what I couldn't manage so he got my sleeping bag and wet weather gear. Check out the website, see how lovely it is but it may be my Swansong as far as long overnight walks are concerned, getting too old for that lark! We had to take all our own food so didn't really enjoy the dehydrated meals I took. Three and a half hours before the end of the walk ( and just after one lady got airlifted back to hospital in Hobart) I had a fall and severely strained my left ankle. Thinking back, I really don't know how I managed to get down to the end, as it was mostly steep steps, uneven and I had to negotiate them sideways, one at a time. It hurt like hell and I am still having to keep off it and keep it elevated if possible.
Do have a look at the website, www.threecapestrack.com.au I think it will become one of the best Tassie walks, it cost enough to put in (twoandahalf million dollars of taxpayers money) and not everybody was in agreement, but the track has been well done, just not for little legs!

Absolutely stunning and I admire your courage of doing it. But I don't think that I will be likely to attempt such a walk.
You as always, are remarkable!
