- Start date: 3 June 2016
- Age When Completed: 60
- Direction Walked: Sectional
General Comments
Since starting my sectional I have completed 2 continuous E2E journeys, 1 in each direction. There are positives and negatives for doing it every way.
Food/Supplies Comments
I used a lot of Backcountry meals. If I was walking multiple sections I was always able to resupply in the track towns with whatever they had.
Favourite Section
Where ever I’m currently on the track.
Highlights
The huge variety of people I interacted with while hiking the track. From other hikers to Surfers on the beaches and non hikers in track towns. The magnificent wildflowers in Spring.
Personal Reactions
Even in 2020 I was able to find some of my old 2016 entries in the log books. In 2016 I hiked a N2S E2E and for most of that journey I was 4 days behind “Dolly & Geoff”, I was amazed that as I finished my sectional in 2020 heading towards Albany I was 20 days behind the same “Dolly & Geoff” who were completing another E2E. I would love to meet them sometime
Wildlife
A whale jumping out of the ocean near West Cape Howe. Whales raising their heads in Peaceful bay. A snake eating a snake at West Cape Howe (I have the video). Lots of Roos and Black cockatoos.
Your Best Equipment
My pillow that was actually my mattress bag stuffed with my town clothes.
Advice for Others
Take your time and enjoy the views and stars.
