Head off for a week or so of adventure that entails more than one activity, with a few airport transfers thrown in, and you’ve got a slight dilemma on your hands in regards to how to carry all your gear.
The summer break is nearly here, giving the Aus Geo ADVENTURE team the perfect excuse to reveal some of our favourite NSW escapes.
Adventure fitness expert Joe Bonington explains the importance –and the hows and whys – of the correct training needed to ensure you’re fit for your next challenge.
For most mountain bikers, a hydration backpack should be as small as they can get away with; lugging any additional weight or bulk on a blast around your local trails can be a pain. But, when you want to go further and longer (think: overnight/weekend), you will need a pack that allows you to take extra gear without being too big and cumbersome.
So you want to try one of the oldest water-borne activities but don’t know one end of a canoe from the other? We talk to canoe expert Travis Frenay to find out where to start.
E-mountain bikes are here and in ever-growing numbers. The benefits of assisted pedaling were too much for Aus Geo ADVENTURE to resist, so we grabbed one of the latest e-MTBs to test: the Norco Sight VLT 2.
There are few things better than hiking solo – especially if it’s an overnight escape; packing a few essentials into your pack – food, water, stove, sleeping gear – is the true definition of simplicity. Of course, besides all this gear, you also need a shelter. Ideally, this shelter must be light in weight but still robust enough to withstand those often-wild spring/summer/autumn storms we can cop on the east coast of Australia. Finding that combo of lightweight and tough construction, however, isn’t always easy.
Way down at the bottom of Tassie, where the weather and the ocean are truly wild, is the South Coast Track, one of this country’s best multi-day treks.
