Q:
I am planning to hike the 4 day Queen Charlottes Trek in late Dec 2019 early Jan 2020. One of the reviewers mentioned that 'bikers and hikers' don't mix. Is it frightening for hikers to have the bikers flying by? Has anyone been injured before? What is the current situation....Dec 2019....more hikers or bikers?
A:
Only 7 bikers past me on my last hiking day. They where slow. I met one guy he full down the track, because he was a little to fast

Q:
We're looking at doing a shore excursion at Picton in January which involves a boat trip to Mistletoe Bay and then what is described as a 1 and a half hour trail walk which loops around a peninsula. Think this might be the James Vogel or Peninsula loop? Trying to understand how steep and difficult this walk might be and if it is possible to just go back the way we came if seems to get too hard. We are in our 60's. Keen to hear from anyone who has done this section and their experience, thanks
A:
Some parts around Mistletoe Bay are a bit steep. We are also in the mid sixties and did not have a problem tho.

Hi, I'm planning to walk the track with my wife and son from 4th to the 9th of January and was wondering how busy the DOC campgrounds get? and do people get send away if they are full?
