Bikepacking the Munda Biddi Trail Ep.1 - Perth to Bidjar Ngoulin Hut

[@Chriswilliams-lx9mx]

Riding in the dark in the wilderness in oz fair play,all them creepy crawleys snakes and crocs,great adventure mind

[@afewspokesloose2699]

No crocs round this corner of Australia, they start at around 1,500km North of here. Surprisingly not nearly as bad as it might seem. I did the whole trail recently with a lot of night riding hours and I think I only copped about a dozen spider webs, all empty. Two snakes, one dead, spotted in the last 120km. Snakes aren't too bad if you keep yourself on the bike, although I'm told they're a bigger risk to following riders.

Hi Guys, great vid, What did u use for navigation, did use use the official munda biddi maps available, just the trail markers.

[@FatTraction]

We did have the paper maps which we would read each night. But we mainly used a Garmin etrex with a preloaded route. If you search 'munda biddi' on 'Ride with GPS' app, you'll find lots of downloadable maps.

@@FatTraction thanks mate. already doing this. Great vids. Using those as some research. appreciate the reply.

[@DanLoaTmba]

Thanks guys - great video. I’ve been dreaming of doing the MB for a year or more. Quick question when you get some downtime, is there a reason you’re double-hutting? And would you recommend this approach?

[@FatTraction]

Cheers mate, we had time constraints due to work. Some of the days were very long and hard. I would suggest taking more time. Also a bit more time to check out the towns along the way would be nice.

[@fayleya3865]

So you went without tents the whole way and relied on the huts ?

[@FatTraction]

Yes just huts and motels. The trail is designed so that there is somewhere to sleep approx every 50kms

[@mikeyfrompiha]

what time of year did you do this? what were the temperatures during the day ?

[@FatTraction]

It was the start of May. During the day it was low 20s but it got very cold at night. I would suggest going in October/November. Apparently there are alot of wild flowers during spring.

[@afewspokesloose2699]

Great video. I'm reliving the trail as I've recently become obsessed with it, though will leave it a while before going back after my 3d16h ride to Albany :p You guys look like a great group to ride with. You can hit me up via @nitestick_velo if you happen to come back to it again and need a riding buddy from Perth.
