Terrain
Sec. 1.
Although some of the terrain is quite open and easy, much of the walking will be done in narrow gorges. There will be some clambering over large rocks and some edging along narrow ledges. There may also be one long and strenuous climb.
Sec. 2.
With packs - flat, minimal rock hopping, some ledging, some soft sand. The walk up the Piccaninny Gorge, mainly over pebbles and sand can be quite tiring for many people.
Going beyond our first base camp, done with full packs on some trips, requires some clambering over large rocks and includes edging along at least one narrow ledge.
Daywalks without packs - most of the day walks involve clambering over large rocks. Some include steep climbs. Some people find this very difficult, even without full packs.
Vegetation
Sec. 1.
The vegetation can vary dramatically from year to year. We may encounter thick scrub and spinifex or there may be little thick vegetation to push through.
Sec. 2.
With packs - minimal vegetation.
Without packs - some walks include dense sections of sharp and/or sticky spinifex, gaiters essential, long trousers recommended.
4-6 hours per day
Waterproofing. We recommend you bring a garbage bag for waterproofing on the off chance that you might get some rain.
You need to carry 10 - 11 days of food on each section. Both sections include day walks where you will not need to carry your full pack.
