Hey,
I start the OLT on Monday and was going to add on the WOJ. Now I'm starting to doubt myself...
1) is it hard to follow the Lees Paddocks track from Pelion?
2) is it hard to follow other tracks that get me across to the good bits of the WOJ?
3) should I come back the same way or come back via the never never?
4) how many days would I need for the WOJ section?
To clarify...I would say
1) I have plenty of hiking experience, incl. fairly physically demanding hikes but ones that always seem to be well signposted.
2) have a full suite of gear,
3) can carry 2 weeks or so of food plus cold weather
gear and all bits n bobs (albeit uncomfortably).
4) have little/no off track walking experience (except when it's accidental)
5) wouldn't really know how to cross a river but I believe you do it at the widest point??
6) will be walking alone but do have a plb
7) no idea how to navigate but as long as my phone works I can use my MapOut app.
Not sure if I'm underestimating a) myself or b) the difficulty of this adventure.
