Rainy day in the bush. Straight forward track with beautiful rain forest that felt really long!
We started at 7am pitch dark with our head torches to guide us. I was happy that the trail was easy to follow and the torches provided us plenty of light on our path. We had booked a shuttle to pick us up at rainbow reach at 3pm. We arrived with 15min to spare. The shuttle shaves 5h (one day of hiking) which was a great idea considering that it was raining and all there was to see was bush and moss.
This was my first great walk.
The ridge day was an absolute favourite and made all the effort worthwhile.
