Great Ocean Walk - Hike Companion Sought - Aug or Sept Travel Forum

THIS BLOG TOPIC HAS BEEN ARCHIVED. NEW BLOG COMMENTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

On an off-chance this might suit someone, I'm looking for a hiking companion/s to pair up with to do the 91km 8-day Great Ocean Walk from Apollo Bay to Princetown. Overnight hiking with backpacks, camping out.

(My employer has unexpectedly informed me "you must take a week of annual leave now-ish")

I'm looking at two possible dates:
[li]Sat Aug 25 - Sun Sept 2
[li]Sat Sept 15 - Sun Sept 23

I'm from Adelaide, I'm not very familiar with Victorian weather, but it is the hiking season at the moment, and I think averages for Sept for Lorne are 16 degrees days, 8 degrees nights.

I'm a regular hiker (hiked about 600km of SA's 1200km Heysen Trail), and would classify myself as a medium to fast hiker, although I'm willing to adapt to suit. I'm a 31-yo male. I'm pretty easy, travelling with and meeting new people is cool. I have a vehicle, and have found contact details for two companies that can do transfers from one end of the trail to the other (although a hike companion may also have a car that can be used to negate this).

Send me an email if you think you might be interested, perhaps include a phone number and we can chat to see if this could work for both parties.
