Hi, do you think it's doable if I carry my daughter in a backpack? (about 15kg, she is 2 and a half)? Or some parts might be too steep / prone to lose balance? Thanks!

Hi Vivien,
There are some steepish parts that have chains to assist your climb/descent. I'm not aware of your hiking ability but I wouldn't suggest the track with a child backpack.
Thanks
Jason

Hi Jason!
I am staying on the North Shore and I don't have a vehicle. I'm wondering if there would be an opportunity to carpool with someone?
