Report

Cape Jervis to Victor (Kent Reserve Trailhead). Great day out starting at 8:19am on Monday 5th January on roughly 23 degree day. Ended up being tougher than originally anticipated. With rurik symon for the first half until Tapanappa reliving and retelling Heysen FKT tales. Great to see Morgan Coull as well with lifesaving water and coke. Slow and warm through the arvo. Refilled water at Balquidda out of a creek. Very thankful for Hehlee Duke and Heather Castle bringing out more water and choccy milk at Kings Beach to be able to finish a bit stronger. Overall gear performed well. A bit on the slow side as focus was more on having pack loaded with more gear in preparation for Tassie mission later this month. Highly recommend, especially for those living in SA with this in your backyard!
