Drive to Portland, walk to Nelson via the Glenelg River, pick up the food parcel you’ve sent to Nelson, walk back to Portland via the coast.

Apart from some day walkers on the weekend, you should pretty much have it to yourself.

ErichFromm wrote:Thanks for itinerary - I've been waiting to reply until i got a map. I've only got about 7 days to work with so thinking I'll need to do either lower glenelg or cobboboone and cross over somewhere in the middle. Glenelg side is easier as the return route is closer to cross over for short cut (eg through one of the plantations). Is there any "best" sections? I'm happy to leave out some of the beach bits...

Walk south to north to take advantage of tail wind conditions. It is a great bit of wild coastline and you are unlikely to meet too many people out there - if any.

Definitely worth it as they do such a great job keeping the Walk and facilities up to such a high standard
