In May 2018, @wayfaringkiwi11 became the first solo female to complete the Scottish National Trail, one of Britain’s toughest hikes! Common advice says you can complete this Trail in 5 weeks but we all know Scottish weather is unpredictable...Two weeks padding will give you time for contingencies. Plus, as Yvette says, “this hike really allows you to connect with yourself and the land, so take it slow and enjoy it, absorb as much of the experience as you can.”

Winters downunder in Oz are relatively mild and make for prime hiking weather.
The later sunrise times make an early morning mission well within reach.
Here are some of our favourite peaks to stand atop for that first light.
1. Pigeon House Mountain, Morton National Park (pictured) - for panoramic views of the Budawangs in silence punctuated only by birdsong. Leave at least 1 hour 45 minutes from carpark before sunrise.
2. Macha Tor, Warrumbungle National Park - for views of ancient volcanic remains you never thought existed in Oz! Leave at least 1 hour 45 minutes before sunrise from carpark.
3. Tomaree Head, Tomaree National Park - for vast coastal views. Leave at least an hour before sunrise from carpark.
4. Mount William, Grampians National Park - the highest point in the Grampians so you KNOW the views are epic. Leave at least an hour before sunrise from carpark.
5. Wild Horse Mountain, Glass House Mountains National Park - for panoramic views of the iconic Glass House Mountains as it’s the only one located on the eastern side of the Bruce Highway. And for this one, you barely need 15 minutes from the carpark!
6. Mount Kosciuszko, Kosciuszko National Park - the roof of Australia. Self-explanatory. Take note of camping restrictions in the National Park, one of which stipulates you cannot camp within 200 metres the walkway or summit.

Backpacking in Zion National Park 🤘
When you’re new to backpacking, planning for an overnighter can be overwhelming.
It helps to think of the rooms in your house to make sure you have everything covered; the bedroom means your sleeping bag, mat and tent, the kitchen means your stove, gas, crockery, food and water, the bathroom means what it means as well as toiletries and then there’s lighting, safety and clothing…and where does it all go?
In your backpack!
New to the #shewentwild blog is our crash course in planning an overnight hike.

"Over the course of three months in Nepal, I did four different treks in three different areas and organised and hiked them all on my own.
I found that organising a trek yourself in Nepal is surprisingly not that difficult and obviously, much more affordable too. It gives you the freedom to decide where you go, how long for, when to stop and...what time you have to get up every morning!”

4 things we’re accustomed to using ziplock bags for in the outdoors:
* snacks, of course!
* waterproofing our phones
* waterproofing + disposing of toilet paper
* organising knic-knacs like batteries, pens etc

And now here are 4 alternatives to ziplock bags to say no to single-use plastic!
1. @stasherbags
2. @seatosummitgear Dry Sacs
3. reuse jars, tubs and bags
4. food containers like Tupperware and stainless steel
