Larapinta Trail Day 3: Section 2: Simpsons Gap – Jay Creek (25km)
Itinerary
Setting off early from Simpsons Gap, we enjoy a long day over easy to moderate terrain taking us to the beautiful gorges of Bond and Spring Gap. We arrive at our camp tonight on Jay Creek later in the day. The feeling changes out here as we start to enter more remote country; there will be a certain stillness as we ease into the splendid isolation. The next three days are regarded by most to be some of the most spectacular and rugged walking on the Larapinta Trail, indeed in the world.
25km/9hr walk

Didn’t have time to write any……..just some photos to share….
Even on a long day, there were a few extra km added, giving us 27.5km (and leading to the demise of my hiking boots).

Walter’s comment
Oh dear! After the easy days I now have blisters on my baby toes. I hope this does not stop me from walking. (It didn’t)
