Originally I had planned this as a very easy cruise; a 10 day walk, with 1 day set aside for weather, and 2 days allocated as rest days.
Due to changed circumstances, I ended dropping all the
extras to 7 days, so that I could do a bit of a walk with Dr Fasnacht for one
day (he only had the weekend off).
How did it shape up in the end? Read on, or select a section below to jump to.
As we have all done the South Coast itself, I didn't bother writing much about that, mostly just time checks, as a reference for later on, and comparison to the past.
The adventure truly happens on Day 3 and 4 - exploring New River Lagoon and Precipitous Bluff West!
The Journal content is taken directly from the handwritten notes I made each night, polished up a bit and expanded on
from memory when I created this archive from stuff I couldn't fit in the journal - I ended up running out of paper and trying to fit in notes along margins and stuff.
I
definitely think I will be carrying a notebook or similar in future trips, it gives you something interesting to do at night, and makes a great souvenir of the trip. It also locks in times, so
you have actual written proof of leg times, rather than vague "oh, about 5 hours, hard pace"
comments that people find very hard to believe later. 
I've also written a few bits and pieces on walking lore at the end, check 'em out.
The adventure begins at 'Day 1'.
