Trek Overview:

The day begins with a pre-day briefing covering safety; expectations; gear check; posture adjustments and advice; water consumption; energy maintence and stability etc....

We then set off down the valley track.  It's an easy grade to start with followed by some intensity in the afternoon. We walk for about 4 hours before stopping for lunch overlooking Govetts Creek.  After some technical presentations, we walk further in to the forest for about 3 hours until we arrive at the campsite.  Everyone assists in setting up the tents before enjoying a well earned swim in the river.

Dinner tonight is round the campfire where we share some our experiences with the group. After dinner, we switch on our torches and walk through the bush to give particpants the opportunity to experience the bush at night before retiring for the day.
