Thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind for when I decide to go lightweight :) Seriously, I have trimmed my gear list weight down over the last few years to make space for camera gear weight. I've even trimmed the weight of my camera gear but it still runs about 3kg (used to be 7kg) I'll only be taking a small camera on the challenge, but the trip is longer. I think I'm about 1-2kg lighter than 2010. Cheers. Hey Mr Grumpy, thanks for stopping by!

I recon you have at least 1100gms too much in your kit list; mainly battery powered stuff! Hi Mike,

It's a great spot. Sharks are often seen there, swimming is banned. Quite a rip there too. Cheers, Yup. It’s a great spot. Sharks are often seen there, swimming is banned. Quite a rip there too.

Intriguing concept to get one's head around - to get such feedback on your location from halfway around the world. Bit spooky actually. Cheers.

However you're in for a whole bunch of fun temperature wise. It ranges from 3 to 12 degrees at the moment but that doesn't include the wind chill factor as the wind seriously feels like ice! I'm sure you'll have an awesome time though. I've got colleagues that are hiking this weekend in Wales and then again in 3 weeks time off the north west coast of Scotland...if a winging pom can do it then I've faith in a can do Aussie! :-) Hey uncle Michael,
