What's your dune climbing technique?

[Cuppa]

In Tibooburra, first time we have reception since Birdsville. Did Walkers crossing track to Innamincka, up to Coongie Lakes, before coming south to Tibooburra via Old Strzelecki Track & Camerons Corner.

.............Anyway, whilst up at Coongie Lakes we had 41 degrees & a howling gale which did a pretty good job of 'fluffing up' the dunes there around the back of the lake, so I had a chance to experiment with tyre pressures. It's one thing being told lower pressures make all the difference, & another thing to experience it yourself. Tried initially without the Tvan hitched up. 18psi in the fronts & 24 psi in the rears. Purred over the dunes in 2nd or 3rd low doing between 1700 & 2000 rpm. Amazing, & as Plassy said earlier it has really helped to build confidence. Pulling the Tvan over the same dunes, with same pressures was almost as easy, generally requiring 1 gear lower.

On Walkers crossing track, once past the initial rocky gibber section & into the white sand I dropped the pressures by around 30% & had a ball driving what was a soft sand switchback for a couple of hundred kilometres.

Thanks all, especially ET for your insights.
