General Comments

In July 2007 I attempted to do the End to End, unfortunately I had to throw in the towel in Balingup, due to spurs in both heels and a bad cold.  It rained nearly every day on that journey.

Food/Supplies Comments

I relied on whatever I could get in towns I came through.  Even the Donnelly River shop is now well stocked for hikers needs

Favourite Section

Mt Cooke rates highly in my opinion

Highlights

A big black snake lying on the track scaring every walker passing through that day (near Rame head).  Yes it was alive

Personal Reactions

I found it useful and safe walking when chicke wire had been nailed over wooden bridges - slipping on wet planks is very easy.

Wildlife

A monitor lizard I had followed along the track trying to get a photo, spat the dummy turned and threatened me. Scarey

Your Best Equipment

Walking poles and my flynet

Advice for Others

Walk at your own pace and don’t try to keep up with others
