After two days of walking I’ve come to the following conclusions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. I have underestimated the physical challenge and my estimates of walking an average of 20km per day is very ambitious given how unfit I am.<\/li>
  2. My bag is too heavy and I’ve packed items that are redundant.<\/li>
  3. Solar panel battery holds 45 minutes of power fully charged – it’s useless<\/li>
  4. With my present fitness walking west could present logistical problems, reach campsites, resupplying etc<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
