Hi @paddlebikehiker. Thanks for sharing your video. I live near near Warners Bay and have completed parts of the GNW in sections, but keen to do the whole thing in one go. Could you please tell me how you got from Brooklyn to Patonga; I read that the ferries don't do this section anymore? thanks in advance

Exactly no ferry but is one to The other side of the peninsula and I read you can go north from there to get back on trail. I took the train to woy woy and afternoon bus from the shopping centre bus stop but there is a service in the morning as well that I checked just requires an early wake up to catch the right train. So check out the bus from Woy Woy to Patonga Beach. Could do the afternoon train and bus ride. Patonga caravan park close at 4.30 I think though or do a pre booking

Do you know how heavy your total pack was? I'm guessing it would be hard to keep it below 20kgs for that distance...

@@nevillebartos7421 I would say at most 18-20kg with the 10 or so days of food and 2 litres of water I carried. It was 13kg at the airport then plus gas canister, food and water. That was carrying my heavy sleeping bag but lightweight tent, lightweight jacket, rain jacket , sleeping inner etc. I did buy a warmer sleeping liner for Great South West Walk and then the warmest down jacket in Melbourne on way home. I'll test this out on my next ride in South Australia end of this month. Balancing act between warmth and weight coming from Darwin.
