General Comments
Holy S… We went through the worst, coldest weather. But more disciplined because of it. We overcome so much pain that I know I can do anything.
Food/Supplies Comments
This time we stuck to brown rice & pasta with cuppa soup flavouring. But can’t beat good old toasted sandwiches.
Favourite Section
North Bannister to Kalamunda because we were walking downhill.
Highlights
When you go tell your walking buddy that you still have to walk 5 km on a 26 km day and up pops the shelter. They SCREAM with delight. ‘Hey you said it was another 5km’!
Personal Reactions
It was a torture this time. I’ve done end to ends, just not when it was so ‘b….’ cold.
Wildlife
Wanted to swap a bottle of vodka with the kangaroos in exchange for a ride. (The bottle was a figment of our imagination).
Your Best Equipment
Backpack.
Your Worst Equipment
The blisters on my heels.
Advice for Others
Don’t buy blisters even if they are on sale. Its not worth it.
