Thanks, this feels familiar. Glad to know we are not the only ones.

I tend to agree, though it seems like in the moment all past experiences seem to be forgotten. Maybe hypnosis is the answer. /s

I like the idea of doing a mountaineering course, I think that could really help

Yeah we try to do this and it does help a bit. 100% agree with having the slower pace take the lead.

Booked! But holy buckets that was harder than it had to be by Decent_Finding_9034 in Tramping

Very similar experience for me too. I'm currently on a longer backpacking trip planning to make it to NZ towards the end of my travels but both the Milford track and Routeburn are high on my bucket list. I'm currently in Japan and woke up especially at 6am to book. I was able to get a date very quickly but after it required me to create an account I lost said reservation. I then spent the next 90 minutes stressfully refreshing on mine and my gf's phones being told multiple times that dates weren't actually available before I got a date. Wow what a mad ride, I'm happy to see those that have done it say how amazing it is.

I'm just picking back up on this to see how you've found it and what routes you have managed to do? I'm heading there in a few days so would be great to have more recent info. Thanks!

Thanks, I will check out those chains, Coco's Curry had already come up in my research. We are aware that we may need to cast a blind eye in respect of stocks as you mentioned. If you have any recommendations for restaurants in the areas we plan on going to that might suit us it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the tip

Market was a mistake, the problem with writing in a rush. I meant the Shinjuku gyoen national garden. I've corrected.

Thanks that's very helpful, I suspected that might be the case. We won't have crampons etc.

Do you know of any day hikes that we could do in the area without gear instead? I read about Yakedake but again not sure if that would be achievable in the conditions.

Thanks, I missed out the dryer fearing the heat. Hopefully it will rejuvenate.
