Re: [Aushiker] Walpole to Albany

Andrew.
As a matter of fact the last few walks I have been doing have been off the
track but didn't want to make it to public in case its illegal, knowing the
present state government with its endless new laws it probably is.
Of course I use a fuel stove and am very careful with the environment and
follow the rules of sensible bushwalking.
I have a very good tent ( MSR 2 person Hubba Hubba) for Margaret and myself,
but my body is wearing out, the results of to much military service and
manual civvy labor but I'm not complaining I'll be there in September, in
the meantime I'm catching up on some book reading.
Good luck mate, on your NT walk.
Harry R.

Hi Andrew, Many thanks for those Larapinta links. Most interesting. The report of the 2002 walk is an odd one. They seem to average at best 2km an hour, and...
