Leg 2: Canning Stock Route
Details -
Distance: 1960km
Conditions: Soft sand, sand dunes, sharp rocks, corrugated 4WD trails
Difficulty: 4.5/5
Est'd Time: 3 weeks
The Canning stock Route is steeped in history. It was only driven by specially developed vehicles for the first time in 1970. CSR traverses three class 'A' deserts, so categorised due to thier remoteness and difficulty of terrain; the Great Sandy, Gibson, and Little Sandy. Halls Creek and Willuna are the recognised start and finish points, although the route is often travelled in both directions by 4WD. One thing is for sure, no matter which way you embark on travelling this route, it is a massive undertaking and great adventure.
Map of the Canning Stock Route
Although several people had tried to ride this route, Jakub Postrzygacz is the only person to have accomplished this feat unsupported. I'll be attempting this same feat, and also in the same direction. The multitude of sand dune slopes should be more easily climbed from the gentler northern slopes.
