It allows you to very accurately count the distances marked between waypoints on a roadbook.
i;e;If the instruction in the roadbook says 2.20km to a L/H turn,you know at 2.20km there should be a L/H turn. Razz

There are no problems at all getting fuel.
Vibraction's roadbooks also have details of fuel stations locations.
Just once,I found myself running a bit low on deisel,& had to make a 30min detour to the nearest town for fuel.

Agree that we have never had issue getting fuel but I do tend to carry 20l in jerry can just in case 👍

I have never had to rely on it though.

Plus as I have said in previous posts I have roadbooks & lots of other routes. Thumbs Up

Tonight's wild camp


Does life get any better than this ???

How do people find wild camping on these routes? Have anyone encountered issues with authorities etc. Looks a great way of travelling without the hassle of trying to organise camp sites and having to stick to a timeline.
