Probably over-reaching a bit. Didn’t feel great from the outset, but didn’t let common sense get in the way. The sign at the start of the trail said it was only open ‘to Moore’s Creek’ but the barrier at the 8km point wasn’t there, and I don’t know which one of the numerous creek crossings was Moore’s, so I kept going. Pretty overgrown for a km or two but the rest of the trail was fine. The new alignment near the top makes it a bit longer, but probably less steep. Died pretty badly by the end. Shivering, nauseous, dehydrated mess at the dinner table. One banana for lunch may not have been enough.
