The South Coast Track

Just got back from 8 days hiking in South Western Tasmania. A hard hike with copious amounts of rain, mud, snow, leeches and water. Almost washed away by huge swells against a granite cliff at one beach, got hammered by rain, had copious amounts of snow up high (though just after our hardest and highest day, thankfully), and had more mud than I ever want to see again. A very hard slog indeed.

But still a very beautiful part of the world. Very untouched, very remote (we took a light aircraft into the start), and unspoilt by outside. My feet were fine even though soaked through for days on end. No blisters thankfully, but issues with wet feet causing some sore spots. No plantar fasciitis issues either (cool!).
