They've gone back to admitting that Cynthia Bay is the southern end of the Overland, which goes back to the original 80km length.
I'm just disappointed you didn't try the Cuvier Valley route back down. It's fun . . .

Did you consider a side trip to Pine Valley? I wonder what percentage of walkers do that side trip?

I've been avoiding this walk because of its popularity, but your report and pictures are making me think that I should consider reconsidering this decision. It looks like you had a great time, even with all the people. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience (here and prior to this walk). There is a lot of useful information, particularly in the questions you posted and the responses you received leading up to the walk.

You need to keep an open mind.

Are you a tent person or a hut cabin person?

What a fantastic trip report! Really well done to you with beautiful pics!
My brother, myself and my son walked the OT last November. A mix of weather. Rainy days...sunny days. All good.
I'm with you there on the Back Country Food. Six days...eeek! We sprouted some alfalfa sprouts and mung bean sprouts, in stockings, on the back of our packs, dunking them in water at every stream. Freshened up the dry food very nicely.
Thanks again for some great memories of the OT.
Very best wishes, Jeffoir
