Track Towns and Supplies
- Did you have any issues finding food/supplies? Yes
- Preparation was part of the fun and we enjoyed creating and dehydrating most of our food for the walk. We enjoyed eating it even more! We were also great fans of eating incredible amounts in each of the towns we passed through. Nom nom!
Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsWe're very grateful to all the volunteers and workers for the immense effort it takes to keep the Bib in such great shape.
Your Best Equipment
Fly nets, walking poles... Actually it was all good. We worked hard to get our weights low (13 & 16 kg fully loaded with 6 days food and water on board) and it made us happy!

Your Experience
Hard question! We loved the Monadnocks for their ephemeral and unlikely ecosystems and vast views, the 'cathedral' of the karri between Donnelly & Northcliffe was truly awesome and the Southern Ocean coastal sections were a splendid ending to a fab adventure.
Highlight of your trip
We were surprised to find that we had so many opportunities to meet other people on the trail. The connections and friendships formed really helped to shape our experience. Early morning walking was the best - cool, clean & fresh, in the company of birdsong and with the excitement of the day to come. The first few hours of every day were our faves.
