This is a TOUGH trail!🥵
Day 22 distance hiked: 44.1km / 27.4mi
Total distance hiked: 696.2km / 432.6mi

The peak of the current heat wave was forecasted today, with mid 30 degree(celsius) temperatures for most of the day. That’s pretty damn hot, especially up this high, and unfortunately the heat today happened to coincide with a very dry section of trail. There would only be 2 viable water sources today and both would be multiple kilometre detours off track. 

It was a lovely morning of hiking with recently cleared trail making walking a breeze. The vertical gain and big water carries quickly added up though and once the heat kicked in around mid day, the whole group were definitely feeling it! We took an almost 2 hour break on a dirt road to wait out some sun and to go find water and luckily a 4WD was driving past and offered us some food and water. That gave us the boost we needed to crush the last big climb of the day and we cruised along fire road for the last few hours to camp.

We picked up our food drop before setting up our tents which will be our last ressupply for the trek. We should reach the southern terminus in 3-4 days!
