I'll post a few pictures from this upcoming weekend.
wow! i am impressed indeed ...
most i have ever covered is around 140km with a fully laden BOBYak ... in NZ, even in summer you have to be prepared for colder weather ...
on my first long tour, i carried way too much stuff ... i had even packed enough food for the entire trip, plus 2 days emergency food ...
on my south aussie tour, i carried two sets of thermal gear and two rain jackets ... SA is the driest state on the driest continent and the lowest daily temp was about 30degC ...
things you learn as you go!!!
look forward to your pics ...
