Long service leave is a wonderful thing! After many years working in Medicine and Education , my wife and I have the opportunity to take six months off to fulfill a teenage dream – to hike the Pacific Crest Trail in the USA.

We come from the Gold Coast, Australia, and are already missing our three children and one dog. Having passed a half century, we certainly won’t be the youngest hikers on the PCT, but we are going to give it a go.

You can contact us at pct@loudonweb.com but remember we might not be able check emails very often.
