Cheers Alan, apparently the Fox and Hounds is open on Christmas Day; so a warming whisky will be in order!

Greg; go on, sell Echo Point to me, get writing! :)

Paul, that boat is hard to knock back! Lucky for me that when I was there the place was deserted, so to get the boat it would have cost me a fortune. Another 17 kms seemed preferable than shelling out more cash!

Glad I did though as the Echo Point Hut on Lake St Clair is my favourite of all the huts on the Overland. It really is in a spectacular spot. I should write about it on my blog, but I'm years behind with my writing!

That's the idea, Greg, but I'm pretty out of shape, so taking it on a day to day basis. With 98 days to go, I better get my arse into gear! The call of a power shower and a warm bed might get the better of me, though! :)

Yeah, the full OT with side trips will probably be nearer 90k. I'm probably one of those bailing out at Narcissus, unless I am feeling up to cracking on to the hut at Echo Point.

Getting some training in by the looks of it?! I thought the Overland was 60 odd kms as well until I finished it and found out I'd walked 93! Something went wrong somewhere, but that's what the GPS was telling me. I guess most people get the ferry at Narcissus Hut which cuts out about 17 kms? I gave the boat a miss and walked around Lake St Clair. Oh yeah, I think all my little side-trips must have added up!

Safe walking!
