i got big maps all over the loung floor ploting a path to the coast, with less double tracking as poss,
depends what time you want to get home......na.

I don't care what time I get home!

I'm just picturing the look on your missus's face with you having huge maps spread all over the lounge floor mate!

Joe - I like the sound of option two Matakonia etc - cheers for all the planning you're doing - CU Sat God willing - cheers S

[junkmanjoe]

yea she goes, are you lost and you havent even gone yet....

how far can you go on a tank before your walking.

[pampa]

My life depends on what time I get home such is life ... but I can always bail out if required

Do you know what fuel range is gonna be required? My bike can do about 800k on a tank but I always fancy put just enough to make 220k ... and not planning to brake the rule

thats about best i can do, to save time in morning, we can cut out westen access rd, and cut a direct track to ngawi.
will save a lot of time.
