It has been..what..3-4 months that I follow the
forum, and I have to admit, I learn a lot from you guys. At the same time, got myself my very first 4by, LC80, 97.
I had no idea what i was buying, I just had to beleive other guys opinions. And then, things started to get out of hand, with 3 mates, we decided we go for the big trip. Up to the
Mitchell Falls and back. (August next year) Then, after talking around what we plan to do, a 4 mates, joint in. The crazy one, but he's got some desert experience, and suggested, why not taking the
Canning Stock Route on the way back. Wow, that would be different from driving around town. OK we all agree and that's what we are going to do. Now, just hit me hard, got my helmet on, out of the 4 of us, only one knows what he doing up there. He done the CSR a few times, but the reste of us, it's just about if we know how to change the gears.
But before u hit me, let me tell you, we are all over 50, a diesel mechanic, a mechanical engineer, a radio amateur, and a writer. The vehicules are going to be
well prepared. We will be towing one camper, custom designed and build. I've got my own machine
shop, so it's easy. The trip?
well the first part will be easy, running along the WA coast up to
Derby, then GRR,
Mitchell Falls then back towards HallsCreek,Tanami track, CSR, but not all the way to
Wiluna, heading west at Lac Disapointment towards Newmann and then back home,
Perth. All this in 5 - 6 weeks, we just want to take easy, no rush.
Are we crazy? with so little experience? The story abount the CSR in the december edition 4wd monthly got me thinking, but didn't yet scared me off.
Oh! almost forgot, we going with 2 cruisers
And on the top, I'm a new member, thanks to you.
