General Comments

Had a great time.  I was fund raising for the Volunteers First Aid Service of St John Ambulance to upgrade their life saving equipment.  At this stage I have no idea of the total, but it is quite a few thousand dollars.  I would like to say a big thankyou to James and his team at Ranger, Morley.  They were all extremely helpful & knowledgeable.

Food/Supplies Comments

I planned my own food drops but it would have been good having something between Kalamunda and Dwellingup.

Favourite Section

Walpole to Albany.

Wildlife

All the usual, but a solitary echidna was a pleasant surprise.

Your Best Equipment

Columbia boots and Bridgedale socks.

Advice for Others

Plan thoroughly and then “just do it”.
