Track Towns and Supplies
- Did you have any issues finding food/supplies? Yes
- We resupplied along the way at the track towns and didn't do any food drops. The towns were in general well supplied for our needs, some better than others. However, it was difficult to get a variety of vegetarian/vegan food.
Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsThe Bibb is a wonderful track, very well organised and with variety of scenery and terrains, in particular the magnificent forests. I have been wanting to do this hike for a long time and I was not disappointed. The people of WA are very lucky to have this wonderful resource.
Your Best Equipment
Osprey Ultima 60 and Nemo Hornet 2p tent.
Your Worst Equipment
Denali water bottle. Sea to Summit gaiters.
Advice for Others
Just do it. Preparation is important but don't over think it. Hike your own hike. Doing S to N E2E starting march was a good choice.
