I don’t think I can include sand in the next one. I am prerunning with Steve “Wolfman” Smith this week. It won’t have sand but will be a navigation real challenge I am thinking

I’ll bite… which part of this fine state are we going to for the next one? :whistle:

Not near Wauchope

While we are on the topic of sand. Is the sand at the beach any different to ride than say out at Big Red?
Does the desert sand have the same consistency? It may be a dumb question but I have never really ridden the red sand and was just wondering?

Only trouble there Pete is the speed limit , 40 kph along Stockton , they have the radar out there at times too , If ya want sand , go out to the Pilliga Scrub Forests , it is mostly sand out there . The only pigs out there have Four legs and Really stink .It is also legal to shoot them .

Its not a dumb question Mick, but i would say that sand is different from beach to beach and day to day,
wet, dry, course, fine, hot , cold, its all different.
One thing is the same though, its all fun :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
I found the Simpson good but after over 1000 sand dunes it might be a different story, would like to try it though

IMO beach sand is finer and tougher. That said the sand in the simpson changes, if you talk with people that have done a few crossings they talk about the sand being different. Also they talk about the sand being easier in the morning when the sand is cooler.
