History buff required ?

Thanks Richard, thats what I needed to know. That track seems to have a reputation for doing tyres. Did you find it difficult in that respect ?

That's interesting. I ran splits for many years but am trying 1 piece steel this time because of the number of flats I had last trip.
I've been trying to do that track for a while but something always comes up. In fact I have a folder of some pix from that area on my puter, but they are difficult to find.
Yep, know about the washaways, it looks like the kind of country where the surrounding scrub scratches the paintwork when trying to get around. I wouldnt be surprised to find a lack of firewood and spots to camp because of the terrain.
Did you go from the 80 mile end or the well 33 end ? I'm supposed to be there in July , and by then I'm hoping that any lakes will have drained away...not keen on being a solo traveller in that kind of country when all the rivers run :))

We stayed at 80 mile beach CP over night, had our CT on tow stayed the first night at the left around 6.45am stayed overnight at the first windmill and tank coming from the north got there at 5.30am
10.53hr max speed 67km/hr (must have been the road out of the CP) average speed 30km/hr distance 377km a bit to long for one day.
Second day start 6.14 end 18.36 max speed 71km/hr average speed 23km/hr distance 286km.
we damaged the CT broke a shocky mount and had to get it repaired at the community

You should plan for at least three day to do the track, there's probably more to see than we found we are only getting used to slowing down LOL

Richard, many thanks for that, appreciate it. Doesn't sound too gruesome:)) Can understand about slowing down...
