Went up it last year around April over two days. Its a good track for an experienced 4WD driver. With plenty of time and taking it easy a trailer should not be a problem. It is very isolated so if travelling alone you need to be very experienced and prepared.

What other people think of me is none of my business.

Wheelz keep an eye on the weather forecasts for the area over the period prior to your trip. I use Elders Weather as it's town specific. The track will flood and be impassible with not much rain. Also the Hyden/Noresman Road will be closed.

Tried it a couple of years back with a number of EO people and when we got to Hyden the whole area was flooded. We ended up doing the Holland Way from Hyden to Pingelly.

A good trip but not what we'd planned.
