I was about to say something about your comment on 'sole trekkers' but I bit me tongue. You know my views...we have crossed before:-)Cheers, Willem

Willem, you are sole trekker :-) On a serious note, its not much fun sitting around the campfire and having a beer with yourself, even though the likes of Len Beadell showed that solo trips are possible.

Willem Im with you like to set my own agenda.

Bob sitting around a fire by your self can be quite mind cleansing.

Gary preparation not luck is the key and dont panic it can kill you.

Yes Johnsy,

Glad to hear from another traveller with similar notions.

After leaving the club scene in the late 80's we have made many an offroad trip into the beyond. Preparation is the key to all trips. You must have the right gear, your vehicle must be in excellent condition and you must be in the right frame of mind. Don't take any silly chances and don't take obvious risks. There are risks in doing trips but if you are well prepared then you know where you are at.

I learned my lesson early for going away on hastily conceived trips being unprepared and it cost me. Mainly my ego. But you live and learn.

I too enjoy sitting around the campfire being sociable. I sometimes go alone but most of the time my life mate(female) goes along to provide culinary delights at the campfire. On other occassion I take old friends with me so we can chew the fat whilst staring into the flickering firelight.

Went solo(one vehicle) two weeks ago and took an old mate with. We had excellent weather, chassis twisting tracks and great camfires.

As you state Johnsy........go out there prepared and don't panic that it will kill you.

Happy travels :-)Cheers, Willem

Like Willem & Johnsy, I leave nothing to luck..well, nearly nothing.
The only thing I leave to luck is the weather.

By that I mean I can influence nearly every other outcome by thorough planning, preparation etc.

Besides, that is half the satisfaction - the dreaming, reading , poring over maps, etc.

Then you can get to the fire & enjoy, with or without company.

It's hard to beat.
