I'm thinking of doing a Simo trip next  year. Thinking of going up to watch the Finke Desert Race, follow the Old Gahn Line, Dalhousie Springs Big Red etc. thinking of about  a 3ish week duration. I've never done this trip before but the people that I know who have say it's awesome. I'd like to travel with at least 3 other vehicles but the more the merrier. I've been told that many vehicles breakdown, particularly overloaded utes & camper trailers cop a hammering with many left abandoned on the tracks. I'd like to take the hand break & kids along for the experience.

i can take the time off easy to do the trip. I'm speaking expressions of interest as this is a trip that I don't want to attempt on my own. Oh, the FDR is on queens bday weekend.

Was considering doing it also in 2015. A friend of mine was 

planning to do it this year but postponed so 2015 is the next opportunity for him. His group of 4 vehicles has done it before and they are good guys...... So in a "word " I would be possible starters as well. I may take two of the billy lids also..... Pencil it in.

I would be in for sure but It would depend on when you are going. I've already got a trip to the Cape on the go for June/ July next year (2015) so if it was left till late Sep the I'd be there with bells on. I have plans to do the Simo at some stage, they why I've organised to do the trip up to Little Desert to get some sand driving in
