Phil & Sandra
Thanks very much for putting together a great self guided itinerary. We heard about Walk91 on the internet via walking holidays in Australia google search.
We thought the itinerary was very well laid out and planned and appreciated the attention to detail for each day in regards to the grading of the walk, distance, drop off and collection points, accommodation for each night and catering.
The only issue that we would recommend is that the pick up from Apollo Bay for the 21.6 km walk should have been at 8am rather than 8.30….
We found the walking notes and maps a great reference each day on the walk. They were very well used each day. We found the meeting spots easily using the walking notes and especially the Parks Victoria map and Mark’s pre-walk talk
The accommodation providers made us very welcome and we enjoyed the packed lunches.
The walk was great – challenging in parts, especially day 3, graded hard in the notes with all the steep uphill and downhill. We were rewarded with fantastic views of the landscape and ocean.
There appears to be a lot of regular maintenance of the track. Distance markers would be useful. This would have allowed us to gauge how we were tracking in relation to making the pick up times. On two of the days (day 3 and 4) we did feel a little pressured to keep going and would have enjoyed the opportunity to walk at a more relaxed pace and linger longer at some points. On those two days we arrived at the pick up point ahead of schedule and so felt that we had walked a little faster than we actually needed to. If there were distance markers that would have helped.
