General Comments
Thanks to all the volunteers maintaining the shelters and track, you do such a good job and we can rely on them always being water for our overnight stop.
Food/Supplies Comments
As i did it sectional generally got supplies for each section before I get started.
Favourite Section
Balingup to Walpole
Highlights
Enjoying all the fine shelters especially Waalegh Long Point, Rame Head and Blackwood
Personal Reactions
Having now done two end to end sectional - not sure if I will do another compete one at over 70 but hope to enjoy, Balingup to Walpole for many years to come.
Wildlife
Quite varied this year - very sparse on the northern section, Collie to Kalamunda possibly due to burns/bush fire, but highlight and echindna near Dookanelly.
Your Best Equipment
My thermarest mattress
Your Worst Equipment
I always bring far too light sleeping bag and then have to wear a fleece at night.
Advice for Others
Those first time should do a short trial section and weigh everything before you put it in the bag.
