Peter couldn't make it today as he had pressing business. I have also been walking some Sunday mornings with Kim Whiteside as he prepares to walk the Bibbulmum track. This weekend is the last time he can do the practise walk before he leaves on July 17. The walk is planned to finish on Sept 19, 65 days of hiking.
These practise runs go for about 3.5 hours. We walk about 15 to 18 kilometres from Willetton to Mt Henry Bridge, then onto Canning Bridge. We complete the loop back to Mt Henry Bridge and then back to Willetton. I have complete the walk 4 times carrying 15kg, Kim carries 22kg. The more you do it the easier it gets.
The more you walk with a backpack the easier it gets. Some of the pictures below look like Kim is already in the wilderness, but in reality it is in the middle of suburbia, Bullcreek area.
