2023 Cape to Cape Walk

Day -25 Our next great adventure
Cape To Cape Walk
Cape To Cape Walk

It’s been just over 4 months since my last big solo hiking adventure and 6 months since our last couples trip and the adventure withdrawal symptoms have set in.  This year we’ve decided for our 2023 couples trip that it was time to head back to Western Australia and do the Cape to Cape Track in the states southwest.

This track which travels between Cape Naturaliste to the north and Cape Leeuwin to the south covering a distance of approximately 123km and hugs the coastline for much of the trip, or at least stays relatively close to it. While this track undulates along the way the change in altitude aren’t really that great, at least for those used to hiking on the eastern coast with the highest point only being around 200 meters.

As I write this post I have spent much of the past 2 days sorting out trip planning, changing my mind about the whole trip altogether, and then managing to deal with the logistical issues that at the time seemed insurmountable (more on this over the next couple of weeks).

At around 123km in length this track is typically undertaken somewhere between six and eight days so we’ve opted to do it in six. We have a day up our sleeve if needed just in case we come across any unplanned issues.
