Hi Deanna
You are in for a real treat and Ian and Ruth are down to earth, fantastic company.
I will do a report for you when we get back. From our previous Simpson trips, which been very many times, there is one very important rule for an easy trip across......TYRE PRESSURE.
What makes me laugh is people saying how hard the tracks are and they are blown over, you get the drift what I am talking about. The hardest Simpson trip that we have undertaken was our GEO Simpson Trip, pure cross country with no tracks to follow for over 400 kilometres, that is what you call hard.
If the sand is soft, do not muck around with pressure. I would go straight to 14psi and gauge it from there. You will only be travelling slow and you will have less strain on your vehicle. As for Big Red, there have been times when we have dropped to 10psi and just glide up, while all the people with high tyre pressure get stuck every time and cut the tracks up.
It is not a race over the Simpson, take your time with low tyre pressure and you will get through with not problems at all.
All the best and have a great trip, and lots of big fish, not unless Ian has caught them all first..LOL
Regards
Stephen
