How did you go walking by yourself? Happy to be solitary or did you walk with others? I certainly met some nice people on the track when I did it, always good for a laugh.
I was well and truly over back country meals by the time day 6 came. I will change that on my next long walk.

Try Strive. Larger serves, far better value, plus they're a Tasmanian company.
ps: Cradle Summit is obvious. There's this *&%$#! great big bronze thing on a plinth. Another fun alternative descent route is an almost straight line towards the summit of Benson. Good fun, although it's easier going up (these things always are).

PS. You had a dedicated '*&^%$#! bottle'? What was the weight?

I,m really enjoying your report and all the photos. It's putting me back out there! You certainly scored with all that blue sky at the start. I can understand your desire to have a bit of a snotty day as it just doesn't seem like a walk in Tassie without a bit of slop, but then again it's no fun knowing you are walking past epic scenery and you can't see bugger all. I've only done the OLT once and can't wait to do it again as I'm sure it will be a totally new experience the second time around.
Pleased to hear you had an enjoyable experience and thanks for putting up your trip report.

We were going to stay there but when we arrived at 3pm we disliked it so much we pushed on to Narcissus. I have no idea who was responsible for that design but they should be fired!
