The training begins..
You know whats the worst part about planning a big hiking trip? It's the training... Take this weekend for example, while my friends have arranged a terribly enjoyable night at the Casino on Saturday I'll be, probably lost somewhere in the bush sleeping on a plastic ground mat.
Then again I wouldn't do it if I didn't love it! And probably the best bit about training is the fact you get to do other hikes in the meantime. Last weekend for example was a short 40km hike down the Murray River (WEST OZ).. Yes that is the one I'm supposed to paddle, always next week :)
Enjoy the weekend guys and girls
Nothing as good as a camp fire!
ps. The new home arrived today just in time for some testing. I'll keep you updated if it was a wise investment.. Can't be to curious in this crashing economic!

Training is the best part of the adventure.....it is the journey part of the destination. :)
A 40km hike is short?!?! I'm afraid to ask what the long ones are ....
LJ. Your right about the training, I'm loving the camping trips every weekend! Meeting heaps of fun people at the same time/
E.M... The long hike over here is 930km. Though that is pretty LOOOOONG. The trip i'm planning is only around 200km. But hey, it's a fantastic way to keep fit. I think you would like it!
I think I would die from exhaustion!!
But it would be a good way to go out.
Again, I am VERY jealous... getting ready for winter over here! Damn snow... I need to move :)
Ahhhh I miss hiking and camping trips... such amazing times!
