A relatively easy climb and descent through forest to the Glencliff Rd, followed by a 0.5 mile trip into 'town' to stay at the Hikers Welcome Hostel. At the road we are 'dicovered' by a film crew who want to film us to give a bit of local colour to their story of the AT. We are happy to oblige but when we ask if they can run us into town, they are suddenly too busy. So we start walking the half mile down the road. Not one car goes past.
The Hikers Welcome Hostel is a fairly ramshackle place - our first thought is that it would never pass council inspections in Australia and would not be allowed to operate with the toilet and bathroom facilities which are basically a tent, with one shower and one toilet for up to 50 people who are staying here in the dormitory or camping in their own tents. We pitch our tent on the lawn along with about 8 other tents, and get a ride into town with Red Hat and Lion King.We are able to have a nice lunch and do a resupply at the grocery for 4 days food.
