Travel Trekking.

[King Elvis]

Anyone done much trekking?

I did a weeks camping in NZ earlier this year, and I loved it, and I'm also very keen to go O/S and just disappear for a while; a bit of a journey of self discovery, if you will...

To that end, I'm considering doing some trekking; thoughts at this stage are one of the Incan Trails, or a variant of El Camino (maybe de Norte?).

Has anyone done either of these trails, or done much trekking in general?

I love it, was meant to go away over the long weekend to hike Australia's 10 highest peaks in and around Kosciuszko.

Salkantay to Machu Picchu - 5 days

W Trek - Torres del Paine national park. 6 days

Kilimanjaro next year.

The first one was with a tour company, lots of people around as it was peak season. Torres del Paine i did with just one other in the winter. Saw 2 other people for the whole week i was in the park. For anyone that has been there during the summer you'll appreciate how rare that is.

Good stuff Darce; those aren't too long, did you have to be self sufficient ?

Everyone but Darcy sucks.

Everyone but Darcy sucks.

Sorry but my idea of camping is a 2 star hotel

What you described in the OP is my worst nightmare.

Maybe ask on the GD Board.

Would love to do the Inca trail and the long trail in eastern US
I have trekked the length of the Canadian Rockies in 2008
