Anyone heading to the Simpson in late September?

We may be in area later, early Oct, but likely to be going over QAA Line and up Hay River track, Cam.

Likely you can forget about the Warburton for 2016.

We went over Simpson in June, and Knoll's Track didn't impress me at all. Rough as buggery between Knoll's and WAAjunction, as bad or worse than Camps 13-14 on the Madigan.

You could go along QAA Line, down K1 to Rig Road, then along there to Lone Pine, up Erabena Track to French Line, then east along to Knoll's, check them out, back to FL, do Poepells and back over QAA to Birdsville.Rig Road is really good travelling(did it in 2 days from Warburton to 3 O'clock Ck, Oct 2015) and you can make up some time there.

That would eat up most of your 6-7 days, though with longer daylight hours, you could always go to Rig-French Line junction, or do lower Colson Track and back over FL. See how you're travelling as you go.Rig Road seems to be much quieter, as in vehicles, than the FL.

Finally, with the regular rain events that seem to be commonplace this year, some of these tracks could be closed. Eastern end of WAA Line was closed with a salt lake right across the track in June. Would be surprised if it's even open now?
