There has been some discussion about a possible road trip to the Flinders Ranges in the beginning of May.
The thinking is that we would pivot off a May 5 starting point at either Carrieton or Hawker. This date is based on the fact that Stanley, vk3bot, will be exiting Adelaide on May 4 as he works his way north on his trip to central Australia.
At this stage, I would be interested to hear if there are any interested parties, and from here we can flash out some ideas (how long to get to rendezvous point with Stanley?, what do you want to include in the trip?, and of course the maximum time you want to be away from home). I have done the Simpson Desert crossing in 11 days, but this involved a lot of long driving days. My preference is to maybe take 2 days to get to Hawker, 5-6 days in the FR and then a further 2 days driving home.
Others may wish to reduce the up and back time to 1 day each way.
At this stage the only thing set in stone is May 5, everything else is up for discussion, so please post your thoughts. I see this to be an evolving plan, run through the Forum, and then onsite discussions at club rooms.
Cheers

Hey Phillip and the team,
All sounds good to me.. I was thinking around 10 days or so.
One thing I do want to make clear for all is that for each person the trip is to be flexible, in other words, each person can do what they want without pressure from others on the trip.
Chat soon.
