Bothfeet Walking Tours.
When I told people I was doing the Great Ocean Walk in Australia's state of Victoria, everyone told me to be careful of overheating, sunburn.... I'd seen the pictures of that poor burnt koala cooling off in a basin of water during the bush fires. Nobody suggested bringing a raincoat. Or galoshes.
But I knew what to expect. Silvery, dry gum trees, slithery snake trails on dusty paths, and that terrible, burning sensation in your throat and whole body as you gulp down huge mouthfuls of water every few minutes. Australia's hot all right, and I was ready for it.
An email had arrived in March telling me I was coming on a walk with nine other trampy types whocall themselves the Glampers. I had tramped with some of them before on the Hurunui Walk in North Canterbury, and had hoped and hoped that they might ask me again. So I rushed to send in my deposit in case they changed their minds. Roll on October..
