Hiking The Bibbulmun Track | Kalamunda to Collie | Part 1

Learning to walk and listening to pain are the main themes of this section. Dealing with a heavier than necessary pack and getting the feet accustomed to gravel road walking. Keen to be out on trail after a few years since the last big hike.

As you walk it's so obvious the damage to the smaller trees with shallow root systems that have died from the long hot summer we had last year. Some areas almost look like they have experienced recent fires.

I’ve really enjoyed this video. But I can’t understand how with your obvious experience and knowledge you had shoes that you considered too small. To know you were in pain was hard to watch, I’d want shoes that felt like slippers by the time I started that big boy of a walk 🤣.I get feeling that although you didn’t complain as such for being in a beautiful area of WA that it’s not such a pleasant, pretty walk as such… I’m about to catch up and watch the next vid. Hope the single track is more the go for you.

Thanks for the comment haha yeah they were just the shoes I had at home that I would use for trail running short distances and wanted to use them up fully before I got a new pair! Cheers. I definitely have slippers now that’s for sure 😂

Great footage of the echidna & the rest of the video too 👍

Thanks!

Banger content, really enjoyed the last 5 seconds too

[@escapeaidan]

Not as banger as your shorts mate I really enjoy them🦶

[@Swaggerlot]

When walking I like to get close to a straight line. Most of the time this track hardly comes close to that.

Good to see you back!

[@escapeaidan]

Good to be back :)

[@campfirejesus]

Welcome Back! Can't believe you described how bad that smoothie was, but didn't spit it out 😂

[@escapeaidan]

I only had the tiniest bit and that was enough to know

[@escapeaidan]

Hi Ray, this was in May

[@michaelmeldrum6094]

Can you show the towns

[@tullykops9591]

No gaiters, your game mate.

[@michaelmeldrum6094]

How many kgs in between water

[@escapeaidan]

There is water at each hut so maybe 15-20km between water at the most.
