Getting There & Away
Getting to and from trailheads can be problematic, except for popular trails serviced by
public and dedicated trampers' transport. Having a vehicle only helps with getting to one
end of the track (you still have to collect your car afterwards). If the track starts or ends
down a dead-end road, hitching will be difficult.
Of course, tracks accessible by public transport are also the most crowded. An alternat-
ive is to arrange private transport, either with a friend or by chartering a vehicle to drop
you at one end, then pick you up at the other. If you intend to leave a vehicle at a trail-
head, don't leave anything valuable inside − theft from cars in isolated areas is a signific-
ant problem.
