Suggested gear list for
Cape to Cape
The Cape to Cape walk trail in the South
West of Australia is much more than a stroll along the beach and shouldn’t be
under estimated. A quick walker may do the 140 odd kilometres in 5 nights / 6
days, however, an extra night or two will allow you to enjoy this delightful
part of the world much more. There are designated camping areas but there are
many other spots to pitch a tent. Fires are strictly prohibited & water
supply can be sparse at certain times of the year. Be aware that there is a lot
of sand walking. Don’t expect to walk in a day the same distance as you do on
firm ground. Enjoy the challenge!
