Nice shots, looks like you got some pretty decent weather! :) How long did it take you to do all of that on day 2? Hoping for a friend to be able to make it down for a trip in late Jan and figured The Walls would be a good introduction to Tassie walking, but limited time and all that...

The Day 2 peaks are close together, not a very long day. We got a bit hot walking accross jaffa vale to Dixons Kingdom after we came off the Wailing Wall. The Wailing Wall is stunning, beautiful little tarns, easy walking. Jan there would be alot of other people in the Walls, less people just outside the Walls. lake Ball was very beautiful.

Yeah, partner and I did an overnight in WOJ in March this year, lucky to have similar weather to you! We did Solomons, King Davids, The Temple and Mt Jerusalem, but I think we might have taken a slightly longer route from Solomons to KDP on the way over, so took us a little while :P Was curious how long The Wailing Wall/Mt Mariah would be, didn't think it would be too bad, so thanks for confirming! :)
