Give me knowledge and fitness any day
Today I heard of someone talking about me and say “take care of Geoff in the snow. He’s so thin… It’s not about fitness or knowledge”. I was taken back. Wow. Are you talking about me? For quite a long time now I’ve thought of myself as a self sufficient skilled wilderness traveller in a varied range of conditions. On a recent trip I had carried nearly half...

I’m now heading south again for the second attempt. It feels like winter and the forecast agrees. It’ll be a snowy trip this time, which is exciting but at the same time a little less than ideal. Firstly my pack weight has gone up. Not just because of the trailstar (lightweight tarp) and sleeping bag, but by the heavier options for everything. Mitts, winter bag, heavier shell (jacket...

Second A2K attempt next week
The race is on. Winter and the snow that covers the high country is approaching quickly which leaves me one more opportunity to get up to the mountains and try to climb each peak over 2000m.  I’m excited and feel even more prepared and determined after my first failed attempt.  This Sunday I’ll head down to the Snowies and head out to Jagungal for the long hike south on Monday 23rd...

Attempt 1 - pulled out due to injury
My first attempt at A2K didn’t go quite as I was hoping. If you missed the news I had to pull out early at Guthega Power Station after walking 42ks.  While there were a few things that didn’t go my way before I pulled out the reason I pulled out early was an inflamed tendon along the top of my right big toe.  Every step was causing pain in my foot. I tried to managed it but it was...
