Heading up to Cape in June, we currently have 2 4wds going and looking for anyone else who wants to join.

Things to note:
- We will be taking the OTT going up and PRD on the way back
- We have a strict 3 weeks to do this due to work
- Drive up will the slow with lots of short drives each day
- Drive down will be not as slow with longer drives each day
- Majority of this will be camping with the exception of Cooktown. But you can camp there and join is the next day

Oof! we don't want to take the OTT, can we still join.
Yes of course! if you want to join you can
- Come with us to Barmwell and take the PDR to cape. You'll probably get there before us
- Join us at any part of the trip.
- Join us just for the OTT

Do I need a winch.
Short answer 'No'
- The two cars already going are equipped with a Winch. But you will 110% need recovery points to do the OTT with us

You have given yourself a day to get from Bramwell to Loyalty Beach - that would be, if not impossible, a verrry long day, I would suggest that you need at least 3 days to do the OTT as it can be very slow going and not counting breakdowns or getting stuck, the Ferry doesn't run after hours or during lunch time.

Hi, we've got two days along the OTT
11 Tue, 22/06/2021 Loyalty Beach
12 Wed, 23/06/2021 Loyalty Beach

in the past we've been able to do in with 1 stop a Canal creek, figured 2 nights along the OTT will be ok
