Itinerary

GPS

  • Heysen Highlights Inserts (detailed here)

Preparation

  • Time spent: 157.34 hr (10% of 1487 hr estimated)

Comment

This version mostly completes the additions from Reading / Typing through Heysen Highlights. Two types of changes have been made:

  • GPS Tracks have had the Points named as indicated. These will display on the GPS, hopefully prompting an action or remembrance in us.
  • Run Sheet addition, is an added not on our Run Sheet, which we'll check each morning.

Toilet Paper usage recalculated was forced by Sandi's insistence that we use the 3-Ply we use at home. This test was done at home, not ideal, but indicated that gms/person/day increased 48%, and sheets/person/day decreased 55%. Overall, number of rolls is now 8 (was 6), which in fact is a decrease in total weight from 1.131 to 0.902 kg.

Overall, this version increases the length of the walk by 2km
