I know a few people who have walked it with a limited time frame and have had to short cut area's or are forced into really long days with out rest days to enjoy themselves. I figured I would just leave the dates open and see how I go. <br /><br />I guess I'm lucky because I don't work that often (7 weeks in the first six months of this financial year), but it means I sacrifice alot as well. This hike is perfect for my budget as the huts are free.Juicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10260614505740841495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12319581.post-75926408446429786122009-10-13T09:46:21.291+11:002009-10-13T09:46:21.291+11:00Greetings from Kelowna BC Canada,

Jus...Hi guys, always good to read your blog Frank.<br /><br />Just to add to the answer's, with regards to a tent Bruce, I doubt you will need one. Especially if you hike the south section which is less accessable for City dwellers to visit on weekends. Despite that, you may want to carry a light insect net that you can hang up in the hut or between tree's. This way you will have something to sleep in even if it's not in the hut, and you'll also be protected from pesky mosquito's.<br /><br />As for the different section, I personally enjoy the south because of the rugged coast, tall (cool) Karri forest and giant tingle tree's. It's more remote then the north and the towns you visit have plenty of charm.<br /><br />The north mind you has some wonderful attractions, like for example the jarrah forests. Keep in mind though that wild flower season would be close to over and it will be pretty warm. My (This is a personal judgement) is that the north carries alot of risk due to the general heat of the days and the dry underbush in the forest - a fire hasn't been through for a couple of years now. <br /><br />Lastly, be ready to see some snakes and take the necessary precautions. Nothing too dangerous, just don't try kiss 'em.<br /><br />Hopefully see you on the track, I'll be walking from the 26 Oct to sometime late December - starting from the north.<br /><br />MattJuicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10260614505740841495noreply@blogger.com
