      Loved it! I found some...

      Bronwyn_C, Sep 2026
      Loved it! I found some sections of the hike challenging but felt very pleased when I overcame the challenge. As noted in the trek information, all types of weather are possible and we experienced it all. Flexibility is needed by participants to enjoy the communal nature of accommodation and facilities. Great opportunity to connect with others whilst enjoying the majesty of the mountains. Through feedback from other participants I learnt that I was more capable than I thought in regard to mountain hiking, so it has inspired me to pursue other treks that I have been previously hesitant to take.
