b4 i leave

---

hi friends, havnt left yet, val and i r off tomorrow to Broome, sailing for a week , then to Halls Creek and the ride.
Attached picture of my setup
Bike is my old GT Zaskar mountain bike from Ro and Sydney Olympics. Put hard smooth tyres on it and a pannier rack. "Hold together girl" Note the small solar charger on a panier.
My comms will be whenever and however i can get a message thru, but plenty of opportunity. Have a wi phone, and abo settlements all have mobile coverage, tanami mine will have phone or internet, and a friend has told me that if i can get within 30m of the microwave towers that cross the desert can get some reception. Otherwise maybe messages relayed by passing motorists. That friend just referred to crossed the tanami last year , came off his dirt bike and broke his leg, notwithstanding rode several 100 kms thru mud for help.
Itinerary is - Start 4am at Halls Ck. and arrive Alice 13th.
See my map details attached
Just looking forward to getting out there, in the desert, hope to get u a few pics along the way
cheers
leigh
