Bibbulmun Track 1000 blogs Paul Madden's attempt to break the current track record of 16 days, 15 hrs and 40 mins set in 2005. The journey starts at Kalamunda, WA on Sat 13 Nov 10 and finishes in Albany some 15 days later. Paul is supported by his wife Joy Madden, and friends, Garry n Beth Shuttleworth. This will be an odyssey requiring great determination n endurance as most challengers either breakdown before or early in the journey. You can track Paul's walk on Google Maps using a link below.

Record Breaking Attempt - Day 12
Day 12 backpacking begins soon after the alarm went off at 6am. We woke up to a bright and cool morning at a max 25C and min 8C. After all was done, Paul left with Garry in the 4 wheel drive to Dog Rd where he headed off to the first camp at Dog Pool Camp some 9km away. The total distance for the day from Dog Rd to Mandalay Beach Rd was 58km. He started at 7.30am and arrived at 9.50pm at 3.8km/hr.

Well done so far, Paul!!
ReplyDeleteJust to give you a Race Around WA update: We were the #1 team again last week (by 10,000km!) and you were the top individual. Personally, you've just passed 30,000km in the race and, as a team, we are in Newman for the 4th time. Just a few days left so go for it!
Good to see your still going strong mate!
