LAST Tuesday afternoon, a group of 12 hikers marched into the Tarragal campsite after coming over the top of Mount Richmond 200km through the Great South West Walk (GSWW), looking a lot fresher than might be expected.

They put down their day packs, sat down on their chairs (already set up) around the fire (already lit), picked up the kettle (already boiled), and made themselves a cup of tea.
