OP here.
So I did my trek out to the 18km site, took a detour to check out a couple others. Over 40km of walking yesterday. I can physically take it no problem, (Despite having blisters on blisters. They toughen up though.) but it worked out at exactly 3 hours 20 min for the 18km part, too long. Would need bike.
I will not be staying there however. The foresters have taken their harvest, my previous spot is now a clearcut wasteland. The surrounding trees are either too young yet in its crop cycle, or unsuitable do to the bog underneath. Pic related. I was sinking into the carpet of needles and fenn up past my ankles, mould spores boiling up underfoot.
