Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsGlad to have done this walk. I'm inspired to take on greater challenges.
Your Best Equipment
My Klean Kanteen stainless steel water bottle that I used to both carry and boil water. Icebreaker underpants worth every cent.
Your Worst Equipment
The only thing I sent home was my torch, but it was not to blame. Left it on turbo in my pack and had overestimated how common its battery was. First one I saw was in Albany. Everything else stayed the course and was therefore fine.
Trip Details

Your Experience
Walpole to Denmark, the section I had already done and which brought me back. Having said that, I did have a real soft spot for the Wandoo trees further north.
Highlight of your trip
Balingup to Blackwood was a great day for multiple reasons. Arriving at Mandalay Beach and getting in the sea.
