My daughter and I walked the track as a celebration of her high school graduation. My husband dropped us off each morning and picked us up each afternoon at a predetermined time and location (mobile reception can be patchy). We had cool weather in the mornings (15oC) and warm weather during the day (mid to high 20’s). We started our hiking around 6:30am and finishing mid afternoon. We began our walk in the north (Cape Naturaliste) and travelled south (Cape Leeuwin), covering the full 135km track in five days. We only met six other hikers during this whole time, all self guided pairs like ourselves. We used ‘The Cape to Cape Track Guidebook’ by Scott and Forma extensively, the maps and descriptions were invaluable. In addition to the usual hiking gear, bring sunscreen, food and plenty of water as it is not easily available on the track. We also carried a first aid kit, with snake bites being our biggest concern. For the most part the views over the ocean are spectacular, although you will also hike inland, over cliffs and up sandy hills. The people you meet on the beaches are very friendly, many of whom will be locals. The track was an amazing challenge and a definite must do in Western Australia
