General Comments
I did the walk in ten sections as I needed to fit it around my work. Each time I started on the track I was not conditioned to using a pack, and the first days were always difficult
Food/Supplies Comments
I never found the ‘right’ food even though I tried many types
Favourite Section
Walpole to Denmark
Highlights
The Pingerup Plains were wet when we walked and very difficult. Nevertheless the open spaces there and in the ocean areas were the highlight.
Personal Reactions
At times I needed all my determination to keep going.
Wildlife
Didn’t see much. A few tiger snakes and a couple of other roos and wallbies
Your Best Equipment
Finally bought a ‘Deuter’ backpack - great!
Your Worst Equipment
First backpack was a cheapy - fell apart
Advice for Others
Walk with copies of the walking day from the ‘Guide’ within easy access
