We love it when readers share information and new ideas. Sonja contacted us recently about Food to Go and asked how many vegetarian recipes there were in the eBook. She is heads off on many multiday trips in Australia and was looking for some new ideas.
There is a vegetarian backpacking food section in Food to Go but it is not massive. We sent Sonja a copy to check it out i.e. if she was not happy, she did not have to pay for it.
The upshot of these communications was we did a swap, Sonja received a free copy of Food to Go and she sent us some great vegetarian bushwalking meal options!

Clothing.
We have a new eBook planned.
Just for a bit of fun.
It will be a giveaway on Our Hiking Blog.
It is designed to help people starting out.
We want to help them get setup with the best hiking clothing for a multi-day trip.
The mini guide will be a slightly expanded version of the “What clothes to wear on the Overland Track” section of our How to hike the Overland Track guide. Some of you may be familiar with it, and hopefully found it useful.

Advice and help.
Georgie Bull, one of our contributers, has been sharing her “Get Fit” program in preparation for Hiking the Overland Track in Tasmania in September.

Over to Georgie:
Regrettably, my fitness regime collapsed two weeks ago when I picked up a nasty dose of the flu.
I am a miserable patient and spent a lot of time mopping about, just willing my lungs and head to clear and my energy level to bounce back.
I felt better on Sunday, so decided to walk up to Montville. I got just past …
How is your exercise routine coming along?

- Getting fit for hiking – a 12 week program
Over to Georgie:
