This route is about 180km long and took us 11hrs in total, we did the last few km's in the dark. This is a very narrow track which can be sandy, very stony, flooded or not really there. Someone appears to be 'looking' after it, there are diversions around really badly damaged bits and some holes have been filled with earth.
There are many bridges on this route, most of them are broken and you need to take the detour (through the river bed), one off these we had to pull out a small truck so we could continue, DINO POWER!
