Pre-departure & Flight

Now, that I’d fathomed (I think!) I could arrive in Spain, next was the planning on getting to the UK. That was straightforward ๐Ÿšตโ€โ™‚๏ธ I’d cycle. When I came out, for the first time I’d travelled without a tent ๐ŸŽช On this trip I had no reason to bring it along as my plan…

Wild Camping ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ Australia

Wild Camping ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ Australia

This is my forth jaunt onto Australian soil. I was here in 2013 as I cycled up through Tasmania and earlier backpacking ๐ŸŽ’ the mainland in 2000. Tassie may be part of Australia ie. another state, but I’ll keep it as a separate page, as it’s so unlike the mainland. And considering the size…

That Munda Biddi ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ Again!

That Munda Biddi ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ Again!

After my previous outing to the Munda Biddi Trail ๐Ÿšต (North to South 2017) I had no expectations or plans to undertake the whole thing again! Why would I? But while back in wet’n’windy Blighty for 10 months and with no other thoughts crossing my mind to cycle anywhere else, in time, it became…

Wungong Hut ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ Perth

  Today‘s final section is Wungong hut to Carinyah hut. Straight line north. I recall last year (north to south) the terrain was fairly arduous, but then it was only the second day of the trail and the weather remained a scorcher. โ˜€๏ธ This time though, I’m trail fit ๐Ÿ’ช and the weather is mild in comparison. Still significantly warm but not the late thirties. The terrain though,…

Dwellingup ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ Wungong Hut

It’s all very well paying for a room at the Dwellingup Hotel ๐Ÿ›Œ but after three weeks sleeping in the bush, it’s all very claustrophobic! But the novelty of a shower ๐Ÿšฟ in the morning and not packing ones camping gear away is well worth it! As ever, I’m packed and ready to go in a nano-second! But that’s still not quick enough compared to others … Pole Pole! Pronounced Polay Polay…

Yarri Hut ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ Dwellingup

Today‘s cycle is a loop that we missed last year due to taking a short-cut. It didn’t end up been a short-cut! Took half a day to extract ourselves from the said short-cut! Short-cuts are all well and good if you don’t alter plans, which have already changed, as you’ve taken a short-cut! Sticking to the trail this time! ๐Ÿ˜€ The upcoming, supposed, camping opportunity would be Lake Brockman ๐Ÿšค As this is a large commercial camping site … that‘s…
