Yes this is a bumper walking edition. On Wednesday I joined Kim as he commenced his 61 day walk to Albany. A 964 km hike. The Tuesday had been wet and cold. We were delighted that although Wednesday was cold, the rain ad assed and there was some lovely sunshine.
There was a good number seeing Kim off. His first day was to walk only 10.5km to Hewitt Hill Hut. This first section was quite hilly and had Kim with his 25kg backpack working quite hard to keep going. I joined him, Steve Higgs, plus Jordan, Toby and Luke Chester.
We had lunch at his first night stop and then continued onto Mundaring Weir, making our walk between 18 to 20km in length. The second section we walked on was much easier. It was fairly cool as I had on thermal pants and didn't find them too hot.
Now this Saturday morning walk was very cold, the fingers even ached some what. We had planned on completing the Mason Bird Tramway walk starting from the other end and meeting up where we completed last weeks walk. The track was not marked very clearly and we ended up at Victoria Dam, which was rebuilt in the early 90s. It was quite note reding, as they left the remainder of the old dam wall below the new dam wall. It is a very beautiful picnic site. For breakfast we called into the Carmel Rosefarm and enjoyed our usual of scrambled eggs or in Peter's case, poached eggs.
