These are comments from past student's feedback.
One of the highlights was having a small group who weren't frustrated with my slower pace.
Some of the hills were very challenging, with no foot holes and they were very steep.
On this tramp in particular, I learned how to pack light and efficiently.
It was challenging walking on the beach, because of the weight of the pack on the sand.
This helped me develop a good map understanding, planning our route, following our route and back-up plans.
What I would do differently next time, is I wouldn't walk on the beach again.
