Canning stock route October - November

Hi All,

Have been thinking of doing the CSR but wont be able to get to the beginning until mid October. I know that traveling the CSR is not recommended at this time although after reading a few articles here I know that people still do.

Is it the extremes of heat that are the main problem?

Im thinking, although have done some remote desert travel, against the idea as I will be traveling as a loan vehicle.

Either that or the kimberlies which will probably be to wet that time of the year.

Any suggestions.

Is it the extremes of heat that are the main problem? Yes .....40 + also
Hot sand is more difficult to drive than cooler sand !!!
traveling alone !!!! most people do it in the winter months for a good reason .

We came back down the top 1/2 in 09, in mid september, 3 vehicles

Hot as 40+ every day.

Dunes easy as, with low tyre pressures, it is easy doable.
Hope you have someone with you, because with that heat, and all alone, things can turn dangerous real quick...almost suicidal

Cheers
