Track Towns and Supplies

Did you have any issues finding food/supplies? Yes
I brought my pre-cooked french noodles (4KG) and I ressupplied without problem in the villages. More or less choice but when you are hungry it's not a problem. Most of the time , bread and condensed milk (handy tube). Miam!....

Your Story or Advice for Others

General Comments
An enjoyable track very well maintained thanks to the volunteers who do a great work. Breathtaking views along the track and friendly people to talk to. In short, It was a real pleasure and I had a perfect weather all in all.

Your Best Equipment
Probably my tent (Arpenaz) and my sleeping mat (trek forclaz air rouge Quechua) after a long walk without forgetting my comfortable Moab 2 Gore-tex mix shoes.

Your Worst Equipment
Nothing in particular.

Advice for Others
No more than a 16 KG rucksack and don't forget your poles. Take also a free newspaper to dry your shoes if need be. I was happy to start from Kalamunda. It might be even better in spring because of the flowers.
