On the actual road to XPD

Saturday morning it was off to the airport, with boxes and boxes of gear... finally we were on the road to XPD!
Cas and Jonesy's "Crossing the Ditch" was on in-flight entertainment. Such a mammoth effort from those guys and a great bit of motivation for our own "expedition". 
 
 The bike boxes made it to Adelaide in one piece. Pretty soon we had them ready to be loaded onto the truck.
 
The HQ is in the Barracks at Port Augusta. On Sunday we had to conduct competency checks.
This included navigation, first aid, our emergency satellite device, showing our compulsory equipment, a swim and kayak in the gulf....














And smiling for a few photos!
 Maps are released Monday... can't wait to find out where we are headed.
