For the second year running we left on a day forecast for 40 Deg plus and although the Land Rover has fantastic air-conditioning (it takes a Brit to really make something that’s this cold) I learnt last year that its best to take it easy in these conditions, saving approx 90 litres of fuel compared to the previous year where I used the right foot all the way.
Up early at 3am, we hit the road at around 4ish, with the girls sleeping for the first couple of hundred KMs we made out way towards Robe and stopped at Hamilton for breakfast.
We had camp set up about 2pm with the girls off to the pool for a swim, helped by the fact we gained half an hour when we crossed the border.
