Looking at a 2 week trip into Cape York.
Am very happy to fit in with others, can build a trip with others, or plan the whole thing, as have a bit of 4wd club experience. My wife is working, and am looking for some other people to travel with.
I’d hoped to tick off some of the iconic locations as well as some of the less commonly travelled ones. Had been thinking of looking at the east coast on the way up, but weather or better ideas can prevail. Would be nice to do some beach/creek fishing and camping. It’s also nice to get to campsites with facilities fairly regularly to be able to get gear and ourselves properly clean. There are a few recommended (tried and tested trips online) that look good or we can make our own.
Any itinary would be agreed upon before leaving, and I’d like the trip to remain around a Medium rating. Changes could happen with universal consent along the way to suit the group. (weather, mechanical, going with mood of group etc).
Not looking to travel with very loud/hard drinking people, (but do like a beer and a laugh). Perhaps travelling with people in 30’s to 50’s (with or without children), and people wanting to enjoy the environment as much as the driving. I do also have a spare seat in my 4wd.
Safety would be a priority, and although people are responsible for themselves, travelling together is wise, and we’d make sure that nobody would be left stranded if things went wrong. Just make sure that your insurer covers you in Cape York if we can’t get you out. I am NOT experienced mechanically.
I wouldn’t be taking my Camper, just a swag.
I’d not be looking at going anywhere which would require extra fuel to be carried.
If needed, we could adjust the dates a little too.
If people send me the money, I can do group bookings for permits ferry etc if preferred.

- Electric Winch
