Previous - Part 2
Friday 22/9
Left Dwellingup around 9am. Rode thru some lovely tracks, very nicely contoured thru the hut. Arrived at the Bidjar Ngoulin hut at 1:15pm ish, it was very cold at the hut and I was feeling good so I decided to carry on to Logue Brook Dam. Arrived at 6pm. There were a few hills, the last one was a killer, quite short but very steep. After that it was an easy run to the dam wall and around to the camp site. I was pleased to see the entrance to the van pk after a long day. First half was great and 2nd half not too many hills.

Saturday 23/9
Stayed in the bunk house last night. A chap called John Reid was there. He's also riding the trail North to South from Jarradale with four other friends. They're riding thru to the road next to the Yarri hut as they live in the area. We had a great chat. They left before me but I caught them up and John rode with me until he turned off. I found the day hard and was exhausted by the time I reached Yarri, which I was very pleased to see. I must say I recon it's the best hut so far, as the orientation to the valley is different, but the wind had dropped as I arrived.
There were some killer hills today and the second detour had two huge hills. I also find the country on the whole looks pretty much same all the way thru, there are pockets of course that look different and are very nice.

Yarri hut on the Mundabiddi Trail.
Sunday 24/9
Left Yarri around 9am. Rode through some lovely tracks, uphills were at a minimum and there were some lovely long downhill's. The uphills I encountered were well graded, it makes a huge difference to have gentle gradients on the routes. The tracks were in good condition and even though it was Sunday I didn't see any motor bikes, in actual fact there was very little evidence of them on this section of the track. There were some very picturesque sections of track today. Got into Collie at 2:30 pm, rang Kathleen to arrange a pickup and left with her at 8pm ish.
