Plan

The broad plan for the walk is as follows...

Depart Canberra Sunday 23 November 2008

Fly Canberra to Melbourne

Train Airport to Spencer Street Station Melbourne

Train from Melbourne to Moe.

Taxi from Moe to Walhalla. Spend the night at Walhalla.

Monday 24 November 2008, commence the walk.

The plan is to do the walk in six lots of one week stages.

Section 1 – Walhalla to Mt Skene 0km - 124km (Total 124km)
Section 2 – Mt Skene to Mt Hotham 124km – 248km (Total 124km)
Section 3 – Mt Hotham to Morass Creek 248km – 362km (Total 114km)
Section 4 – Morass Creek to Dead Horse Gap 362km – 519km (Total 157km)
Section 5 – Dead horse Gap to Kiandra 519km – 649km (Total 130km)
Section 6 – Kiandra to Canberra 649km – 790km (Total 141km)

As I live in the far southern suburbs of Canberra, the plan is not to finish at the "official" end of the track Namadgi National Park Visitor Centre but to continue walking to home. My home is about an extra 10kms from the Visitor Centre so all up the total should be just under 800km.

The expectation is that the walk will be take in 42 days meaning that we should finish some time around 5 January 2009.

I have also done a rough calculation of the number of steps it will take. 800km at approximately 80cm a step......that makes approximately 1.000.000 steps!!!!
