Day 1

Mundaring to Carina Hut to Mundaring 44.7 k|ms and yet I clocked up 138 klms!!!

Let me begin ...
Munda Biddi means path through the forest and this trail is the longest continuous one of its kind in the world.
Spanning from Mundaring near Perth to Albany on the south western coast of Western Australia the trail is about 1032 kilometres E2E (trail talk - End to End). My plan is to complete the journey in about 21 days.
It's been 12 months in the planning and hopefully all the training, reformer pilates, stretching, hours on the bike along with the practice of disassembling and assembling it coupled with packing and unpacking the storage bags so that it can be packed in a hard case for transport interstate has prepared me to take on my Munda Biddi challenge.
Mind you, I had not planned for today's eventual outcome.

Away at dawn - beautiful!
A wrong turn - embarrassed!
(considering it added an extra 100 kilometres to the days tally)
Retracing the mistake- exasperated!
Eventually on course- relieved!
Engulfed by bush fire smoke - perplexed!
Not quite there yet- pondering!
Personal safety - anxious!
Return to the start! Reassessment!

Planning a few days respite to see if the hot weather and fires abate.Read more
