Alice to Kintore Rd

Speed ? On that road ? Willem, you know better than that.
It's just that the road is badly potholed and rough before Kintore, and I figure if I can come in a bit further down and miss it then sweet. But no point in going the long way around, as I have only a few days to pass through some places :(( So don't want to take too long getting onto that road. If it takes all bloomin day to get to the Kintore road via Glen Helen then I might have to try the corros and potholes.

It took us a total of 9.5 hours to do the trek from Alice to 20km inside WA via Glen Helen.

This included numerous stops for smoko, photo shoots, refuelling at Kintore and helping a bloke change a tyre.

Either way there wouldnt be an hour in it.

You really worry about these things too much. Take a DEEEEP breath mate...and another.....and another......Feel better????....LOL

Willem, yes I know. Been paid to worry for far too long...:(( Even so, I'll be on my pat malone, so prior planning etc ....
I mean if I'm going to hit the chit this end, what am I going to be like at the other LOL

Willem, took me 9 1/2 hours to get to Kintore , via the Tanami and Kintore road. Included replacing a wheel, and an unintended and totally useless detour to Tillmouth.

Footy.....

There is a free camp at Serpentine Chalets, now reduced to cement blocks only or you can drive out of sight at Ellery Creek. In fact there are numerous camp spots, come to think of it

Thanks Willem. Looks like a much nicer way to go, I assume single lane tar as far as the resort ? If so then I'll assume the rest is as rough as guts :))

No mate. Two way bitumen right up to the resort. Road could be a tad corrugated up to the turn off to Tylers Pass as it is used more often but after that we found it a good run. Drop tyre pressures to 25 and you should be OK. You may even find a freshly graded road out there and have a dream run...lol

Thanks Hairy. I was hoping that it was, and past experience had suggested that. Also I'd guess that I could camp at the resort and be on my way early the next day, so hopefully awake enough to deal with the "scours and boggy conditions" (NT Roads website). :))
