This is where the real challenge starts ............... the infamous Dalton Highway (remember the Ice Road Truckers?)This is essentially a 414 mile dirt road notorious for huge trucks kicking up clouds of dust in the summer or in the rain it can turn into a quagmire. Either way, not a pleasant experience. You can expect conditions to change rapidly. It has a severe reputation, so when I set off early in the morning I was a little apprehensive to say the least!
The run up to Wiseman (about 7 hrs) wasn`t as bad as I expected. Sadly, the Dalton had lulled me into a false sense of security!
Stay tuned!!

ReplyDeleteI'll be running your article next weekend. It's early days, but I'll keep the link to your blog on mine for the duration and hopefully send a bit of traffic to your giving site.
All the best, Brian - awesome effort! xx
