Awesome stuff Alain, thanks for letting me know. I really tried to hit all the marks of info, overview and tips to help people have a good GPT experience.
Amazing videos Caro!!! Thank you so much for all the tips and insights too. I’d been wanting to hike the trail for a couple of years but am now signed up to do the inaugural GPT100MILER (I’ve chosen the 4 day staged option not do the non-stop version!) in late November. Tho I’d love to do the hike version to be able to really absorb it all (and camp) it felt too good an opportunity to pass up having some “support” as you move along, albeit rapidly and minimally, the length of this stunning trail. I had been considering using poles but RD’s have said only some parts would prob suit them - looking at your vid I can see why. The exposure is gonna be brutal late Nov too I fear!
Wow Jan. That sounds like an amazing way to do the GPT and having the support will be an amazing thing to do. You'll love it. So glad that the footage helped convey the varied terrain and yep - I took poles, but didn't use them once!
G'day, Not sure what you mean by Redman Road, is that where you were thinking of exiting the track from? The track between Halls Gap to Barri Yalug (via Bugiga) is all graded 4 on the Australian Walking Track Grading System. I've got a post on that description here: lotsafreshair.com/australian-walking-track-grading-system/ The tricky thing is that what is 'hard' for one person, is easy for another. So it's hard for me to tell you if something is 'that hard', sorry. Take a look at the grading system and that should help you decide what's right for you.
Fantastic job Caro, beautifully presented
Aw, thanks David.
Looks like a beautiful well managed trail
It is as you say. Both beautiful and well managed.
Great Vid. Day for it. Good info and overview and good tips. Awesome work 👍

You haven't lived until you've done elephant hide sections of the GPT in the rain.
'elephant hide'... perfect description! Woohoo.

Can you be my leader 🙏🌹❤️☕️
Ah, thanks for your trust in my abilities!
