Bibbulmun Track Day 34 – Wandering Miner

Day 34

19.5 km

Cum 725.7 km

Camped: Mt Chance

I set up my tent for the first time in the hut last night , for mozzies and mice or rats. It was somewhat wobbly though. Will work on that.

Left camp just after 06h00 and headed down the road, quiet literally, as the first 14km is dirt road.

It wasn’t particularly exciting, and even less so when it started raining! This is day 1 of 4 of rain… better get used to it!

Once hitting the track though the rain started proper and so did the long puddles! Became a slog as I was wet from the top and bottom! Unfortunately couldn’t really enjoy the wildflowers either in the conditions.

I finally got into the hut at 10h50, and saw a couple of rangers from Department of Parks and Wildlife who were doing some maintenance. They left some 30min later and I could finally get my wet gear off and into the dry!!

It stopped raining around 14h00 and Sandy, Doug and myself climbed up Mt Chance to get the stunning views of Pingerup Plains and Broke Inlet.

Mauve walked in later in the afternoon. She, Doug and Sandy actually met each other a week ago or so.

The hut looks like a Chinese laundry with everything hung up.

Also, my self standing tent is working much better tonight as I figured there are clips that clip onto the walking poles on either end.
