Sage advice as usual Mick. I must have been nuts offering to 'head' a gathering ex
Wiluna 2010 Gathering.
I put it up in the first place because we weren't that confident going solo.
But since then we have done some quite remote stuff and these (desert
well known) roads don't look anywhere near as daunting (setting aside your b***** corrogation vids!!).
But I'm hesitant to pull the pin on those who've registerd tentatively even tho I don't personally know any of them. What a poke in the barrell. Trip of a lifetime with new friends or war on the ranges with people who insist on breaking
camp before 0900???!!
Cheers.

C’mon now John, nothing ventured nothing gained. Get everyone together on the email, get planning and get them all involved. My theory is you do it all as a group sharing the planning burden with all participants. Use the
tools on the Exploroz site to assist with preparedness. As the trip coordinator (more inclusive than “leader”), you should lay out those basic parameters like departure times, destinations and
routes and see how they sit with everyone. They’re the important things to agree on first up. Everyone should pitch in to help organise though. Traveling with experienced outback roamers such as yourself will provide some great opportunities for the newer travelers. Mate from experience I can say that often the most unlikely of people end up being the best of company. Cheers Mick
P.S. Just squeeze Durba and the Calverts into the Canning itinerary what ever you do.
