Track Towns and Supplies

Did you have any issues finding food/supplies? Yes
This E2E started off as a N-S, but my resupply didn't make it to North Bannister. So I travelled down the highway to Albany, and flipped my walk to S-N. Made my own jerky this time in Perth prior to the walk. It was good to tuck in to that.

Your Story or Advice for Others

General Comments
This is my third E2E, and the second one for 2018. I just have to look at photos on my phone from previous E2Es, and start enthusing to people about the Track, and I get the urge to be back out there.

Your Best Equipment
My EXPED sleeping mat. I went extra wide, extra long (595 grams).

Your Worst Equipment
All pretty OK, really. Nothing particularly high tech, or ultralight, or super expensive. Mostly just middle-of-the-range stuff.

Advice for Others
Open your ears to the bush, and your heart to the experience, and walk your own walk.

Your Experience

Favourite Section
Always a hard question, this. So much to enjoy. Waalegh to Mt Dale. The stretch from DRV to Pemberton. Frankland River to Peaceful Bay.

Highlight of your trip
The solitude, and yet, paradoxically, meeting other walkers. Also, meeting walkers again from previous times on the Track. And the wildflowers were spectacular. Oh, and the camp fires at night, where permissible. I truly had some beautiful coals to gaze into.
