On the 02nd of November 2010 I will be running solo from the north coast (township of Penguin) of Tasmania and finishing on the south coast (Cockle Creek). I will be utilizing walking trails where possible, some roads cannot be avoided but these will be kept to a minimum. The distance is approximately 450 kilometres and I will be running on some iconic walking tracks such as the Overland Track, the Port Davey and Sout Coast Tracks. I aim to complete the run in 6-8 days but this will be dependant on weather conditions. My journey has numerous river and creek crossings and heavy rain will prevent crossings. Obviously any extreme of weather has the potential to not only slow my trip down but may end it. I will be utilising food drops at several points.
