Bibbulmun Track Day 43

Day 43

20 km

Cum 918.1 km

Camped: Denmark- no camping!

Out of the hut before 06h00 again. Had a good walk along the coast before heading inland to climb Mt Hallowell.

And what a climb it was too! Its very rocky and goes around many large granite boulders that are balanced on eachother. Many great opportunities to sprain an ankle. Both the ascent and descent are rocky. Its 300m vertically up and then down.

It was on the downward section that I met a group of 22 organised hikers.  They were of the older generation. Their guide says to them, “This is Jo, she is a thru hiker; congratulate Jo as you pass her” Hahahahaha! I felt like I was on display. It was funny. So, I had quick chats with the individuals as they passed me and asked questions. 

Eventually the track levelled out, became a river track along the inlet and then I hit the tar road and walked into town.

Got straight into the bakery for lunch at about 12h15 and also got a nice sourdough for the next few days as I’m staying in Denmark for 3 nights.

It was a nice sunny day today, yet the climb up Mt Hallowell was in forest, so that was cooler and pleasant.
