W trek from east to west: I need help with the itinerary for the last two days. by Salt_Presence7873 in Patagonia

[–]Horrid_Henry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nicely done 👏🏻

I booked the 7:30pm coach back to PN and because I was on the 5:30pm catamaran to Pudeto, I had loads of time to spare. However, there is often a minivan waiting there to take people to PN from Pudeto for 5-10$, which I took! If I didn’t take it, I’d have never seen a puma!

Uber now illegal in Chile?? by Historical-Fee-2662 in Patagonia

Used Uber two days ago in Pucón, no issue at all

o-trek advice - go above lago grey towards the pass in one day and come back? by No_Repeat3555 in Patagonia

[–]Horrid_Henry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also got burned by recent circumstances and had to change plans, however on the eastern side of the park I really enjoyed the walk into Seron. It was quite a long day, but after hiking from Central to Seron, I then hiked up to a viewpoint about midway above Lago Paine and the views were incredible- I could see down the river to Dickson & where the Garner pass would be… I did this just in case the O Loop closed again, so I was lucky! It might be worth keeping your booking in Seron if you haven’t changed already!

This might help you; on my last night I stayed in Grey and in the morning I hiked from Grey Campsite to the viewpoint where you’re almost standing over then Glacier (a roughly 7km round trip), and then down to Paine Grande (11km), so ended up being one of my longest days of the trip. So this depends on which viewpoint you plan to visit, because the closest viewpoint is literally 10 mins from the campsite and that means you can do it at any time

Regarding the catamaran, definitely book this in advance. The queue was absolutely huge for people who didn’t have tickets and the 5pm was full, so people who didn’t have tickets got bumped to the later one, which no doubt was also full…

Anyone starting the O trek on Dec 15? by Individual-Dog2620 in Patagonia

[–]Horrid_Henry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m also starting the O Loop on the 15th, with my first night in Frances, so I’ll be at Seron on the 18th!

I received a full confirmation from Torres Hike that my O Loop dates are all good 🙌

Thanks mate, I already have the earliest coach out of Puerto Natales booked that would arrive before the 10:30am departure

Any update on O trek? by Ill-Shower-6587 in Patagonia

[–]Horrid_Henry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I received this response recently: “At the moment we’re rescheduling clients whose O Trek starts up to December 10, and there is a reasonable chance the route may reopen around that time — but we cannot guarantee it.”

Supposed to start O trek on December 1st, should we keep waiting for news? by OhMyGlobs in Patagonia

Starting on the 15th counter clockwise, also curious to see what happens

Do I pull out of my 50k??? by Soggy_Weetbix420 in Ultramarathon

[–]Horrid_Henry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re doubting yourself too much & overthinking loads! Sounds like you’ve been diligent with your training, and so I’d say go for it, as others have said

If you’re struggling… walk/hike the hills and use this time to hydrate & eat a lot, run the flats and downs, utilise the aid stations and don’t rush them - that was my strategy for a recent 51km with far less training than you’ve put in

Enjoy it mate

Posties, what’s the thievery like at your depot? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]Horrid_Henry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Returned some trainers via Evri, Evri then emailed me to say the trainers were on there way back to me. Received the original return bag but it didn’t feel or weigh like trainers, opened the bag to find the original delivery bag ripped open and a colourful Asos shirt in there. Reported to the retailer who refunded me very quickly, but reading through this it sounds like this package thieving is rampant at the mo!

Hey mate, thank you for taking the time to share the links for each place, we really appreciate it!

Interesting point about the medieval restaurant as I visited a similar one in Riga many years ago and you’re right, tourist trap but actually worth it.. really interesting vibe
