G'Day Paul.
I've walked this section numerous times in the last few years. Yes, there is
plenty of sand dunes but nothing that can't be overcome, Giants to Rame Head
to Peaceful Bay can be done in one hit quite easily its virtually all
downhill from Giants to the beach.
If for the first time if the weather is good I'd probably stay the night at
Rame Head then on to Peaceful Bay you can keep going and sleep in the boat
shed after paddling across the inlet.
the rest of the way is okay you can maybe score a lift around the inlet at
Denmark and walk through to Nullaki in one hour from the road then continue
on the way to West Cape Howe, you can buy gas bottles at Denmark make sure
the inlet can be crossed at Torbay ask the bloke at the caravan park or look
up the Calm site lots of other options on this walk, but have to go just
opened the door to visitors sorry.
Glad to see other people like walking in winter. Me? I've occured two
injuries one to my back and one to my foot have to rest till end to end in
September don't realise how lucky you are till you get a nagging problem its
torture staying home.
Good luck and good health Mate.
