So I will start a ride from Brisbane on Sunday.

The big goal is to do a Solo Simpson desert crossing. However I have to be out of a hotspot for 14 days before Northern Territory will allow me in.

So I will ride west to Carnarvon National park then north and do the Creb track and then to Cape York, the most northern point of Australia. By then I should be allowed into NT so I i will go south and cross the Simpson desert.

All my riding gear, tools, gps and luggage items is still in storage in South Africa.

I had to buy all of it again [emoji2961][emoji2961][emoji2961].

So the kit
Yamaha T7 tenere
Bashplate B&B
Luggage rack B&B
Bark buster handgaurds

And then a dry bag setup.
Got a brand new 11.4 liter Giant Loop fuel bladder on Gumtree.

For the Simpson crossing I will need 40 liters fuel, 10-16 liter water and food.

So I will tru pack as light as possible, whilst still having enough gear, clothes and food to enjoy the rest of the journey.

It will be a 9000-10000 km round trip.
