My third ever bush walk and my first one solo, I set out to complete the 223km Larapinta Trail in 3 weeks. The average time take to complete ths route is 16 days, so I had lots of time, although some longer food carries. I did lots of planning, research and prep. Weighing out every gram of food. This walk was the start of my love of hiking. This is what I found out through a mixture of research and doing it.

My route – My original plan, my actual plan and what I would have planned.

Why did it take you so long? – I took 21 days to complete this walk. This is why.

What the Internet didn’t tell me – My notes during the hike to help me plan future trips.

Larapinta pack list – What items I took with me on this particular trip.

Photos – Just some pictures from along the way.

Food

Food plan – What I packed.

Food drops – How? Who? What? Where?

Food plan in hindsight – So I’ve told you what I packed, but if I did it again what would I do differently.
