Just a quick note to say I arrived in Cardwell (2402km) at 8:15pm
tonight after a 362km day. Tired but OK. Tomorrow I pass
through Cairns and then turn left to begin my journey across the
top. Hoping to begin more regular diary updates, but have had
to choose sleep over the diary in the past week as time was chewed
up by mechanical problems. I’m getting four hours sleep a
night so feeling a little jaded but otherwise OK. I’ve
modified my route slightly tomorrow to follow Highway 1 through
Cairns and Kuranda up onto the Atherton Tableland. This is
slightly shorter (about 80km) than my originally intended route, but
is the more obvious road to follow and still takes me on a longer
route than that used by Erik when he set the current record.
Time for bed!
