Canning Stock Route Feedback

tell him to have a great time, ( he will anyway )

m.pudd,

Take it from personal experience, the Canning Stock Route is not the place to be if you are not well.

I had a small cut on my finger from loading timber on the roof rack for the camp fire that night. Didn't take much notice of it, I have had cuts before but this one went very bad over night. To cut, (no pun intended,) a long story short I had 24 hours to get antibiotics or it would have been a helicopter ride out if I survived the wait for the rescue.

The Canning is not only tough on your vehicle but tough on your body, and if your dad has any doubts, after talking to his Doctor, he would be better not going.

On another trip I met up with a group near Canning's Cain. He had slipped and although the fall was not big he did have a few cuts and a suspected cracked rib.On the Canning that type of injury can be very painful.

Other people have done the trip and have not had a problem but is it worth the risk?

I know this is not good news but reality.

I would like to say go for it he will have a great time but no one can see into the future.

The trek might be a tad arduous for your Dad. I speak from experience. I might not be as old as your dad but have had two knee replacements and travelling over endless corrugations can be quite tiring and even painful at times.

So he needs to give careful consideration to being in the saddle sitting down on 'orrible bumpy tracks for hours and hours and days amd days

Cheers
