For one walker, the recent End-to-End 3 weekend away, it was actually the finish. Our new president, Robert Alcock, completed his End-to-End experience on the final day of the weekend, to the acclaim of the assembled multitude.

The group, on its second last trip to the Flinders, experienced great weather to get in four long days of walking. Pushed by Simon, nearly all finished the allocated walks, however many grew crops of blisters to acknowledge the hard terrain.

The birthday theme, climaxed in the giving of presents at the group dinner, with a few getting “just what they wanted!”

The highlight of the weekend was the stunning views from the Yourambulla Range, arguable the best along the Trail.
