Confirmed Meet-up In the Middle - New Poll

[MudRunnerTD]

Hey Guys,

Well 200 days to go before this Meetup, lots of folk have had their hand up at different times. How are we travelling now. I see a thread for who is Not going, thought we better have a look at who Is going.

Please vote in the new Poll

EDIT***

I call July 2014 at Dalhousie Springs and then over the Simpson Desert as our meetup.

There are some Public liability Issues if we call it the National Meetup of the Forum and this also rules AB out of the Organising group. This trip must be seen as a group of mates hooking up for a great trip together.

Epic.


I call Meet at Dalhousie Springs, Tuesday 1st July 2014

See you there

Everyone please see this link for Safety Flag requirements.

So @AB do we want to get some Forum Sand Flags made mate?? I'd buy one.

Giving the fuel usage some thought guys, we may decide to detour along a couple of the side tracks if the traffic is heavy and we want to mix it up a little. THere are a couple of Land Marks worth viewing. The link above indicates that Daulhousie to Birdsville is 438kms and as Dr Gary indicates the distance to Mt Dare should also be considered.

Mt Dare are recommending carrying 150lt of fuel and usage will be between 120 and 140lt for a diesel assuming a good safety margin. Plenty of folks quoting 95lt used though!. I will probably carry at least a jerry can on the roof which will then give me a total of 195lts which should be heaps.

Having a bit of a read around and most folks are averaging less than 19lt/100 and we all should do it easily. Taking a little extra each should allow us to do some diversions given we are in no hurry.

Looking forward to it.
