Total km: 1004.1 Last day!As expected, the weather was awful with lots of rain and wind. Ah well. I had sent out a message last night to the Bibb track hikers Facebook group for a ride around the inlet, with the weather plus the high tide I did not fancy crossing it. Jacko (a trail … Continue reading Bibbulmun track day 42: Torbay to Albany

Total km: 967.1 I slept like the dead until 4am when I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. I felt well rested though, so just relaxed, enjoying the novelty of being dry and warm with internet access. After 7am James and I headed to the bakery for some brekkie, which was a super … Continue reading Bibbulmun track day 41: Denmark to Torbay

Total km: 919.4 I intended to get up super early so as I would not get into town too late…but I was warm and comfy so I hit the snooze button. Repeatedly.

Total km: 828.0km So my feet feel...ok. Actually better then ok, they actually feel great. I can't remember the last time I walked without my toe giving me a little grief, it feels strange. Obviously the rest day did them some good, just way more good than I was expecting. It was a really welcome … Continue reading Bibbulmun track day 37: Walpole to Giants

Days km: 0kmTotal km: 794.6km Was I ever glad to be safe and warm last night! Outside the weather was wild, with the rain smashing down and the wind howling.

Days km: 10.3kmTotal km: 794.6km "It's only 10ks. It's only 10ks" Knights of Columbus, my feet hurt! I didn't really notice until I endured the exquisite torture of putting my cold, wet shoes on over my battered feet this morning. I mean, its never an enjoyable experience, but this hurt something fierce. Like, an "uh-oh" … Continue reading Bibbulmun track day 35: Mt Clare to Walpole
