Bibbulmun Track Day 20

Day 20

23 km

Cum 406.8 km

Camped: Grimwade Campsite

I must say that I had a really good nights sleep last night! Only woke up at 4am.

Was up and ready to go at 06h20.

Today was very much a day of up/down/up/down/up/down/up/down. You get the picture.

There wasn’t anything to exciting on trail really. Just going through jarrah and marri forests.

As I walk and hear black Cockatoos I am reminded to explain what Honky nuts or gum nuts are. They are eaten by black Cockatoos and then strewn over the forest floor to become nature’s version of Lego! They are very uncomfortable to walk on and are ankle busters!

I walked in to camp, knowing that I had completed  400km today!! Yay!

Done for the day at 12h45,  got onto having a wipe down and change of clothes as I knew Lewis was probably close behind me.

Lewis was having a shorter day today, not his usual double hutting 40km plus, so we will share the hut again today. It was sooooo good in that it didn’t rain last night nor today-so could walk through a drier forest!!

I must also add that this toilet is a) nice and close to the hut and b) has a great view when you leave the door open 😉
