Event Report: ![]() This was a wonderful 8 day walk conducted in challenging weather conditions - rain wind hail were par for the course ![]() but we did get some sunshine glimpses to warm the soul. ![]() The weather was anticipated so we were well prepared with gear and clothing and the overall total of rain for the week wasnt huge. ![]() Being able to have a food drop at the half way point (Aire River camp) provided by Walk 91 at Apollo Bay was a bonus lightening our load for half the way. ![]() There is heaps of great information on the web about this walk so rather than repeat you can find what you need at this website https://www.greatoceanwalk.com.au Location of GPS data - a gpx file for each day of the walk is available here GOW GPS DATA The designate walk in campsites are well laid out and the 3 sided shelters table and bench seats are great for preparing meals and relaxing and chatting to other walkers. ![]() We met some great people and the 4 of us got on very well - thanks to Bill, Jan and Di for making it such a successful MVB event.
