Hey.
Have been thinking of doing the GSSW from Portland for some time but would like to mix it up a bit. Was thinking of leaving the car at Swan Lake, (West of Portland) loading up the mountain bike and pedalling through Portland, and up to the Glenelg River (2 days). Then hide the bike, pick up a hire kayak (Nelson company does this for you) and paddle to Nelson (3 days). Stay the night in the pub at nelson, then walk to the car (3 days). I am concerned about the suitability of the tracks for a loaded mountain bike, but the rest seems very doable. Thoughts ??
