Abby and I embarked on my first time on the actual trial on Monday just been.
This was a solid 6 hours walking and it turned out to be a fun day. Even though rain was scheduled we had pretty pristine weather. I even got a small patch on sun kissed skin on the back of my neck where my sunscreening was not up to standard!! (lesson learnt!!)
Abby and I walked with a friend of Abby's called Zoe, who is also taking part in the trailwalker (with another team).
The Oxfam Trailwalk in Perth is predominantly along the Bibbulmun track which runs from Kalamunda, east of Perth to Albany and is almost 1,000 kilometres long.
We walked from the start of the trailwalker to check point two which was a total of 33km. Taking a lovely lunch break at 30km to take in the views of the Mundaring Dam. This areas was a hustle and bustle of tourists and in our active wears and after walking for over five hours I certainly felt I was looking a little worst for wear compared to these well dressed tourist who had just a ten minute wander down from their cars.
Was encouraging to not feel completely zonked by the end of the first stretch and the prospect of doing that x3 in two weeks time not too daunting!!!
