DESCRIPTION

A 7 day adventure; 3 days from Cairns to the Cape, a day off up there and three days to return. This is a must-do destination for any adventure rider. A route that is designed for GS's, you will be challenged but not forced to try and carry a 1250 across a creek! There will be some soft terrain, the usual outback style surfaces that are constantly changing and evolving. Maybe even some optional track break outs that will include some sand. A combination of accommodation and camping along the way makes this a great authentic adventure!

TEMPERATURE

This time of year the days are usually warm, highs of around 30 degrees and nights only slightly cooler in the mid 20's.

 

ROUTE DIFFICULTY

This route suits experienced off road riders, there is only a relatively small percentage of bitumen riding and extensive outback style dirt roads with constantly varying surface. Mostly flat and undulating riding with no real technical up or downhills. There are some light sandy sections which can vary in difficulty with road and weather conditions, keep in mind the crew is there to support you through any difficult terrain.

​
