Now it gets very difficult💀 Day 3 hiking the Western Arthurs Traverse is a tough one, with the 6km stretch between campsites often taking hikers 8 hours to complete. It’s steep, technical and a little scary in parts. But the views around every corner more than make up for it. What a day, what a campsite, what a sunset! Cya tomorrow. 🤩 The Western Arthurs Traverse is an incredible trail that is extremely difficult - think literal rock climbing, huge exposure and unpredictable weather. Not to mention 70kms of highly technical and steep hiking(all with a heavy pack). Do not attempt this trail without extensive hiking and climbing experience and adequate gear - just watch these daily vlogs instead to get a taste of the trail! 😎 I think this series is another perfect opportunity to remind you about Leave No Trace principles. On a hike as remote and untouched as the WAT, following these principles is absolutely essential. Take ALL trash home with you(including food scraps) and respect the natural environment each step of the way. I had to pick up plastic, food scraps and even a broken croc during this trek - that’s simply not acceptable behaviour. 🙌 PS. A permit is also required to hike the WAT and mandatory gear is needed to be permitted on trail by rangers. ✅
