Year definitely needs to be done. Do your research on the blocks before you go though.
I’d not take any block with a track running through it. Only because I wanted the solitude.
We had cell phone coverage but talking to some guys that come down every second year and we’re in southwest arm block they had only 1 bar. I recon if you take some of the lower blocks around the bottom of the island you would have no coverage so a mountain radio would be needed.
1 250 meters of rope. 2 dive boots. 3 rubbish bags to take the crap out left over from other party’s
4 file for the axe and a good wood saw. Oh and a broom as some clown had broken the one in the hut.

It’s a special place just a shame all who travel there don’t treat it with respect.

But year get in you should love it. I mean my wife wants to definitely go back.......
