Carnegie Expedition 2013 - Day 13 Rendezvous at Wilson Glen (in the Stansmore Range)

5th August, 2013, Wilson Glen I had expected a lot of wind overnight, howling off the salt pans however, the wind dropped off at dusk and stayed that way.

Hi Mick,

Thanks for another fabulous armchair ride across the desert.

Great photo of John doing a sidecar passenger manoeuvre and an equally scary photo of a 'tired, filthy but bloody happy' character - you look beat.

Glad you found the firewood we 'purposefully' left it there for you guys - lol.

I can't believe the debris height you mentioned - must have been an amazing amount of water pouring through the neck of the Glen.

cheers

Cheers Phil,

Yes we were gobsmacked a well by the flood debris. Mate, it must have ripped out of the gorge into that hard left hander where the sheer rock walls are before spreading out. It would have been something to see but I’d want to have been on higher ground. Imagine the deluge that caused it!

Glad you’re enjoying the ride and yes I was buggered. We all were. It’s pretty easy to navigate towards a range, it’s the getting there that’s damn hard heh heh.

Mick
