点评:We had been told that the Trail was difficult. It was just that and more as many people say the first part is steep and the middle section is relatively easy considering. The final part at the Ropes and up to the tower was to say the least one of the most difficult short hikes I've done. I have done to Kokoda track and there are very few parts of that that would equal that last section. Having said that my wife 60 years old and myself 67 years old were exhilarated at arriving at the top. Oh did I mention the leeches. She hates leeches. We were still finding then in clothing on toes, arms and elsewhere hours after getting back to Ferntree resort (Great resort BTW) add to all that the fact it was raining. Nobody else on the trail and wind from the Southeast it was freezing at at times. If you're going to do it at our age I suggest you take two very good walking poles and you will enjoy it. If not then be prepared if it is wet which it was for a very tough walk.
My advice read as many of these as you possibly and learn as much as you can before you depart doing in the rain is not a great idea but it was fun.
Must:
Long sleeve top
Long hiking pants
Cap (a must if bald)
Gatters
Bloody good walking boots (again a must if wet)
Yes of cause Min 2L of water and food.
Finally leave around 7.30am - 8am and don't rush it.
Have crossed this one off the buck list and made sure it doesn't appear further down.
Enjoy
翻译:我们被告知步道很艰难。就是这样,而且很多人说第一部分很陡,中间部分相对容易考虑。在 Ropes 和塔楼的最后部分至少可以说是我完成的最困难的短途徒步旅行之一。我已经完成了 Kokoda 轨道,其中很少有部分可以与最后一部分相提并论。话虽如此,我 60 岁的妻子和 67 岁的我都为登上顶峰而兴奋不已。哦,我有没有提到水蛭。她讨厌水蛭。回到 Ferntree 度假村(很棒的度假村 BTW)后数小时,我们仍然在脚趾、手臂和其他地方发现衣服,这增加了下雨的事实。路上没有其他人,东南风有时很冷。如果你打算在我们这个年龄去做,我建议你带两根非常好的手杖,你会喜欢的。如果没有,那么请做好准备,如果它是潮湿的,那将是一次非常艰难的步行。
我的建议是尽可能多地阅读这些内容,并在你离开之前尽可能多地学习在雨中做这件事不是一个好主意,但它很有趣。
必须:
长袖上衣
登山长裤
帽子(秃头必备)
袜子
该死的好步行靴(如果湿了又是必须的)
是的,至少需要 2 升水和食物。
最后在早上 7.30 点到早上 8 点左右离开,不要着急。
已将此项目从清单中划掉,并确保它不会出现在更靠后的位置。
享受
