General Comments
The Bibbulmun is out happy place. We have lots of treasured memories walking with the Bibbulmaniacs (our adventure buddies). Now the flip-flopping E2E is complete we’re keen to do it again but allowing more time to complete longer sections. The dream is do complete a through hike.
Food/Supplies Comments
We tried and failed to dehydrate our own food multiple times so ended up using freeze dried meals when we couldn’t eat in track towns.
Favourite Section
It’s hard to choose one particular favourite section but the section from Dwellingup to Balingup is high on the list.
Highlights
Meeting other hiking and forming strong friendships. Catching up and reminiscing about the tales from the trail is always fun.
Personal Reactions
Having finished I feel a sense of accomplishment. There has been blood, sweat and tears but there’s always a pull to go back for more.
Wildlife
Over the years I can honestly say I’ve only seen 1 snake. My adventure buddies have seen more but that’s usually because they’re in front of me.
There’s been plenty of birdlife and roo’s.
Your Best Equipment
Our equipment has definitely and thankful improved and gotten lighter over the years.
My favourite would be my sleep system, you can’t beat a good night’s sleep.
Your Worst Equipment
Cheap hiking poles, they collapsed when I put alot of pressure on them. We’re grateful our children brought us better quality ones as gifts.
Advice for Others
Take one step at a time, you’ll get there.
Your equipment is your choice but do your research.
