Description |
This is a challenging walk through sometimes remote and unforgiving country; it thus requires good tramping skills. While the opening section is relatively easy, after the first few hours the route encounters swampy country and is not always well marked. In later sections, river crossings are also needed. The river may be impassable after heavy rains. |
