Thx all...appreciate all the comments. I am definately more looking at hiking in the best climate, conditions and scenery; more than escaping the Australian humid tropic weather. All a compromise, I may also hike with a mate who has stated he would like some snow

Great info Astro and IMScotty. Will go into my plan for sure.

ok thx for that information. It was similar to my best guess too, one month in my desired slot and one out would be required. I appreciate the advice.

Ok assuming compromise... for the first 8 week trek. What would be the best start date heading North for best climate?

Hi Stephen, thx for the reply...no experience and no gear. I like the heat more than cold, but a higher priority if achievable, would be to complete each section in a similar climate ie avoiding extrem change from cold to hot or vice versa as this may make gear selection easier. My general fitness is ok as I run frequently and complete at least one marathon each year and did my first ultra last year. No experience carrying anything other than a day bladder. Cheers.

Hi, new here. Looking into completing AT over 3 seperate 8 week trips and 3 seperate years. I cant get the time away from work or family any other way. Heading north...what would be the best start date for each leg when considering climate factors? I live in the Tropics in Australia and would ideally like to escape the Australian humid wet summer from Late Nov to start May! Thx
