We were warned to carry a light pack, no more than 18 pounds David stressed, to walk steadily and moderately quickly, and at about 80% of our individual capacity. By observing these guidelines and having a short rest every two hours or so, the party should achieve its objective and possibly find time to enjoy ourselves. The party consisted of David Rostron, Fazeley Read, Gordon Lee, Tony Marshall, Richard Winthorpe, Jack Elliott (a visitor from Alberta,, Canada), Warwick Blayden of Federation fame, and me. |
