Hey Guys,
Just wanted to post a quick note to see if anyone's looking at doing the cape in June. I'm planning on leaving
Cairns June 6 or 7 and have two weeks off work for the trip.
I had a couple other guys lined up, but as usual there's been changes in circumstances and they can no longer make it. At this stage it's just the old man and I in my GU Patrol, and we may have one other vehicle coming along.
If anyone else is planning the trip around the same time, it'd be great to hear from you.
Bretto

I am looking at leaving
Sydney Mid May. One man - X Trail and Tvan. Taking it easy up to
Cairns then onto the Cape. I would be interested in a tag-a-long. I might only travel part way, as I intend to spend more time in the Pernincela.
