General Comments
Many burnt out areas to contend with when I walked it. Route marking and camp sites brilliant.
Food/Supplies Comments
Longest stretch without shops from Kalamunda to Dwellingup might be a problem for slow walkers. I did it in 8 days so the amount of food I had to carry was just about acceptable (and I didn’t go hungry!)
Favourite Section
I enjoyed all the coastal sections
Highlights
Seeing Albany for the first time across the water.
Personal Reactions
Relatively easy walking most of the time. Difficult to get lost but still worth having backup navigation aids (maps, GPS and compass).
Wildlife
Plenty!
Your Best Equipment
My ‘Luminaid’ solar charged lamp/inflatable pillow was the star of this trip.
Your Worst Equipment
The foldable solar charging panel for all my electronic devices was a waste of time (and unnecessary weight). Better to carry a spare, fully charged power bank.
Advice for Others
Check the track website for latest track news just before you leave home to start the walk. I didn’t! Be prepared for occasional cold nights (I was, but only just!)
