July 2nd 2021 Days km: 40.7kmTotal km: 485.4km It was such a lovely walk yesterday, my best day on the trail so far. So naturally today would have to absolutely suck. It started off well enough. I slept pretty well and started my day by walking down Cardiac hill. Then I encountered trail magic, one … Continue reading Bibbulmun track day 23: Blackwood to Donnelly River

Bibbulmun track day 22: Balingup to Blackwood
July 1st 2021 Days km: 17.4kmTotal km: 444.7km So this was my favourite day on the trail so far. I was in no rush to start this morning, so I wandered around town until the cafes opened so I could grab a hot breakfast. I also spent waaay too much at the chemist. I bought … Continue reading Bibbulmun track day 22: Balingup to Blackwood
Bibbulmun track day 21: Grimwade to Balingup
June 30th 2021 Days km: 22.3km Total km: 427.3km I did not sleep well at all. My back started to stiffen up after I had eaten dinner and it got progressivley worse as the night went on. It made rolling over, which I do a lot, slow and painful. The baffles also chimed in from … Continue reading Bibbulmun track day 21: Grimwade to Balingup
Bibbulmun track day 20: Noggerup to Grimwade
June 29th 2021 Days km: 23kmTotal km: 404.4kmMax left pretty early. I dillied, then I dallied and eventually got moving. I did not sleep all that well, another baffle burst in my sleeping pad and I kept waiting for more to blow. I don't recall much of the walk to be honest. It was reminiscent … Continue reading Bibbulmun track day 20: Noggerup to Grimwade
Bibbulmun track day 19: Yabberup to Noggerup
June 28th 2021 Days km: 20.2kmTotal km: 381.4km My shins were sore this morning, but felt better after some aspirin. In fact lets just assume my shins are sore all the time unless I say otherwise. I am sick of typing 'shins'. I normally wake pretty early but I was in no rush today it … Continue reading Bibbulmun track day 19: Yabberup to Noggerup
Bibbulmun track day 18: Collie to Yabberup
June 27th 2021 Days km: 19.6kmTotal km: 361.2km A storm was brewing on the horizon and the forecast was looking grim, and my shins ached something fierce. The signs were there and that voice inside my head whispered "Stay just one more day, dude. Another day off would be awesome. Think of all the chocolate … Continue reading Bibbulmun track day 18: Collie to Yabberup
Bibbulmun track day 17: Collie (zero day)
June 25th 2021 Days km: 0.0kmTotal km: 341.6km Due to my shins I'd decided to take an unplanned zero in Collie. Alas the Black Diamond was booked out for the night so I moved down the road to the Collie. This is another backpacker type budget accommodation place and is as old as the Black … Continue reading Bibbulmun track day 17: Collie (zero day)
Bibbulmun track day 16: Harris Dam to Collie
June 25th 2021 Days km: 22.2kmTotal km: 341.6kmMy shins hurt pretty bad so the walk into town was not fun at all. I don't recall much of it to be honest, pretty dull walking again. I did not like having no phone, so no music, no podcasts, no fracking map. Urgh! The last section into … Continue reading Bibbulmun track day 16: Harris Dam to Collie
Bibbulmun track day 15: Possum Springs to Harris Dam
June 24th 2021 Days km: 33.6kmTotal km: 319.4kmSo the plan today was to double hut to Harris Dam. At 33 odd km this would be my biggest day on the trail so far. The profile looked pretty flat for the most part and it would mean I would get into Collie tomorrow. The promise of … Continue reading Bibbulmun track day 15: Possum Springs to Harris Dam
Bibbulmun track day 14: Dookanelly to Possum Springs
June 23 2021 Days km: 22.7kmTotal km: 285.8kmAnother day of dull walking, this section is living up to its reputation. Lots and lots of firetrail. Again. I did get to cross the new swing bridge though, which was the first photo worthy thing I'd seen in days. . After the bridge there is about 20km … Continue reading Bibbulmun track day 14: Dookanelly to Possum Springs
