April 2020 I will start my PCT NOBO thru-hike at the age of 50! I am from Shellharbour, New South Wales, Australia. I am a wife and a mother to a 10 year old daughter. I served 20 years in the Royal Australian Navy. Lived as an expat in 4 countries. Solo cycled countries and my longest e2e hike is the Overland Track. With my families support, I will travel to the other side of the world and embark on the greatest adventure of my life, thru hiking the PCT. Join me on YouTube VanessaDoddoutandwithness. Happy Trails...
