This is the Training hike for the Australia’s 16 Highest Peaks [experienced overnight hike, EOI] trip next month.
In terms of what you will need, your pack must be a minimum of 10kg. I recommend trying to get it close to your usual overnight pack weight if possible. You will NEED to bring at least 3L of drinking water, hat, sunscreen, food and snacks, capable shoes (there is some scrambling), long sleeve shirt, headtorch. Trekking poles are optional but can be handy. Be weather aware and bring wet weather gear if it rains as the hike will still run.
To make up the 10kg minimum, I recommend just bringing more water. You could also use sandbags. If your bag weight is below 10kg we will get you to buy more water or fill your pack with rocks. Choice is yours…
I’ve also added a link to the hike so you can see what we will be dealing with.
