Kep Track: family pace

Since an unseemly mad dash along the Kep Track a while back Greg, Tim and I have been plotting a repeat. The difference being that we’d do it with children in tow over a weekend rather than before lunch.

A reminder. The Kep Track heads east from Mundaring to Northam. This means that it’s easily accessible to Perth inhabitants, particularly if a suitable person can be induced to pick you up from the other end.

Frequent stops ostensibly to allow rest for children and logistical discussions among adults. It appears that adults think better when drinking cups of tea. Lots of them. Greg, Tim, Demelza and Sarah haven’t got that far and it’s mid-afternoon already.

As the point was a relaxed pace and getting the kids along it with a maximum of enjoyment, there was a fuzzy/flexible car shadowing arrangement made to cover all bases. The three of us are joined by Greg and his family plus Tim. We’ve done similar things before though at that point Sarah was 32 weeks pregnant. It’s a mark of our extraordinary level of organisation that we talked about this trip back then and it’s taken us too long to actually do it.
