PCT 18

Day 11 – Mile 118-137

29th April 2018 //  by franaitken

Day 11, we walked up from 118 and continued up the hill towards Mikes place, which is a great trail angel hide out, in the middle of no-where.  We arrived in time for breakfast, and we had some potato and chicken patties, which was lovely.  I had a great nap in the hammock.  We made …

Day 10 – Mile 109 – 118

29th April 2018 //  by franaitken

Day 10, we left the gliding club at about 4pm, and got taken back to the resource centre.  We hiked up from there about 10 miles at 4pm.  We got into camp late, but a beautiful view of the sunset, looking back over the valley was amazing!     Thanks for watching, we shall see …

Day 8 & 9 Zero Day in Warner Springs

29th April 2018 //  by franaitken

We stopped for two zero days in Warner Springs.  We were put up by some friends at the airfield which was only 1 mile away.  They picked us up at Warner Resource centre and we got a caravan to stop in overnight. Day 8 was mostly organising the next few days of our hike up …

Day 7 – Mile 93-109 (Warner Springs)

16th April 2018 //  by franaitken

13th April 2018 We started from camp at mile 93.  The miles we put in today would be mostly downhill and into a new valley.  The first milestone would be mile 100!  The downhill was very gradual and so my knees we fine with the descent.  The day itself was not that hot, and hiking …

Day 6 – Mile 77-93

16th April 2018 //  by franaitken

12th April 2018 Day 6, we were awoken by border patrol at 5am wanting to check our passports.  We packed up shortly afterwards and started the long hike up the other hill.  Today had a wind warning of gusts up to 70mph!  I did think we were crazy to hike up a hill with cliff …

Day 5 – Mile 59-77 (Scissors Crossing)

16th April 2018 //  by franaitken

11th April 2018 Day 5, was a tricky day for me as most of the hiking was downhill.  It was absolutely boiling too!  We hiked about 9 miles that morning, before we stopped for a break, but it felt like we had done 16! We stopped for lunch, but there wasn’t much shade, so we …
