Pacific Crest Trail 2015

Well it is officially one month before I start walking on the Pacific Crest Trail. The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) is a 4,200 Km continuous walking path that goes from the Mexican border near San Diego to the Canadian border near Vancouver. I am attempting a thru-hike of the entire trail in one season...

While I am getting excited about my looming adventure, I am also experiencing some sphincter pluckering fear at the enormity of the undertaking! When the fear starts rising I just remind myself that all I have to do is walk everyday and to take one section at a time...

Along with my instagram account, I will be maintaining this blog site as best I can along my journey. For now, here is a picture of me. Well my silhouette anyway! I have been trying to fit as much training around my work schedule but. I'm pretty sure nothing will adequately prepare me for this adventure.


Along with my (limited) training I have been finalising all my gear and trying to wrap my head around a possible resupply strategy. I will post something soon about the gear I chose because some people are interested in that stuff! One criterion I tried to fulfill was to buy local and buy Australian as much as possible. 

Some of you might be wondering what Albert is going to do while I'm away. Well he is going to stay with Terry, Jock and Roxy over at Erowal Bay...
