Bibbulmun Track Day 6

Day 6

30 km

Cum 142.2 km

Camped: Gringer Creek

Left Mt Cooke camp at 06h30 and hit the uphill trail straight up. The climb up the mountain was steady and rewarding . The view from the top was great with the continued blue skies. A few times that I lost the track and bundu bashed to find it,  but didn’t waste much time.

The descent was a little tougher but not bad at all. The rest of the way to Nerang camp was pretty flat and I got there by 10h45. My shoulders were already sore from the pack. I had a slightly longer break and left at 11h30.

The second session of the day was another 16km, flat but between the shoulders, feet and chaffing in the groin I was pretty over it. Many breaks later I got there at 16h30 , exhausted but happy. Also definitely going to be losing the big toe nails and I have a blister on my little toe…man oh man!

Cam and Macca rolled into camp about an hour later and set up a lovely campfire,  this after a 50km day!!! Every day!!! 21 days to complete the whole Bibb!! They had just met up with Rick who got them some pizza and met them for the short walk into the hut from the highway.
