Going the Anne Beadall Alone?

No problems
I have done this highway a couple of times as a solo vehicle.

Bit rough the eastern end but a pleasant trip all the same. If you are self sufficient and able to fix any problems yourself with out relying on other travellers all the better. Good communications are a must. Sat phone is ok but we usually keep in regular contact with VKS in Adelaide via hf.

Enjoy your trip. It is one of our favourite journeys.

Hi,
I crossed east to west alone last October. Late on the third day I met my first "other" vehicle of three in total, I would think that there will be more travelling in June.
This is remote country & You must be totally prepared & self sufficient.
Would I do it alone again? Absolutely yes.
Mike.

Hi Workhorse

Like the replies above, we travelled the AB last August, the intention of a complete Solo trip, which ended up only 3 days solo. Providing that you undertake your homework and are competent in true remote outback travel at its best, then you will be in for a very rewarding trip.

We travelled from Laverton and on our second day met a couple of other travellers, also heading east. We camped the second night at the same location. Next morning we said our good bys and departed solo again. Making camp that night in the most perfect location in the Black Oaks, we again had the pleasure of the same couple of vehicles ( Hi Stewart - EO Member Black Cobra and John if you are reading this ), so we then decided that we would travel as a group for the remaining 4 days.

The most important thing is do not rush the trip, and allow a minimum of a 7 day crossing from Coober Pedy to Laverton, even longer would be better. Keeping you tyre pressure low will make your travel more enjoyable over the thousands of very good quality corrugations that you will encounter until you almost reach Ilkurlka.

You can read my Blog on our trip here on EO if you want a little more information on what to expect.

Have a great trip on one of Len Beadells great tracks.



Cheers

Solo trip Aug. 2006 in a Rodeo (4x4).
Had HF radio, EPIRB and all the emergency gear.
Preparation- Planning and Patience and you'll be OK.
Awesome trip so take your time. We were over 4 days before seeing another vehicle.
Do a lot of homework as to the history and the POIs in the area.
Safe travels !!!
