Knowing when to cut your losses.
On Monday I set out to complete a 146km loop of the Hollyford Track and Big Bay - Pyke Route in three days. The plan was to be dropped off at 1:00pm on Monday (Day 1) and be picked up on Wednesday (Day 3) at 1:00pm.
The Hollyford is a 56km track that starts at the Lower Hollyford Road and leads to the old port of Martins Bay. The Pyke - Big Bay Route is described as a strenuous route, suitable for experienced and well equipped trampers. Sections of it are prone to flooding and often become impassable in wet weather.
