I have a copy of that video plus direct contact with a group who attempted a similiar trip this year. They did not have an easy time of it due to the very soft sand on long stretches of what beach you may be able to get to. Making days of frequent recoveries. One day I was told they travelled around 30km and did over 50 recoveries.

well
The guys at 4WD action also did something similar in their last episode-2018 I recollect. Having done a few legs of this from the West I an assure you it is not something to undertake lightly and alone. Over a lot of
the beach running there are very few exits, plenty of seaweed that is metres deep and some challenging sand and tides. Just to start with. As
well you can't get past
Head of Bight so there is still plenty of bush pinstripe inducing scrub to negotiate which also has lots of sharp dry timber on the ground just waiting to
test your sidewalls.
Yes by all means the fishing tracks that wind their way down to several points along the GAB are certainly worth the effort for the
views. But these tracks are narrow and if you are towing can prove problematic. If a fire happens in that scrub a quick exit could be hard to find.
