The Gammon Ranges

This trip aimed to reach Grindell's Hut in the Gammon Ranges, where I had family working. It involves some fairly remote riding with little water available, so I settled for a heavy touring layout with rear panniers and other bags. I needed to be able to camp on the way, so carried a bivvie and sleeping bag. I defrayed expenses by carrying dehydrated morning and evening meals for the trip, which I restocked at the hut. The plan was to take four days going up, stay for three, take a day across the ranges to Leigh Creek, and then do a non-stopper back to Adelaide. (See the right-hand menu for more...)

This is the route taken up to Grindell's Hut, and then across to Copley. 

The route home as far as Jamestown. From there, the route back to Adelaide is almost identical to the up route.
