Thread: Essential Kit

As a last comment - remember that many if not most vehicle failures, accidents, and getting stuck are at least partly the result of overloading!

I drove all over the Simpson forty years ago in a 2a diesel with no modifications or special equipment except a water tank and radial tyres. So this does not surprise me!

Most places you are likely to go the major problems will be distance and isolation, nothing else, although corrugations can be a real killer on some roads.
But unless you do silly things like trying to drive through the wet season, the actual travelling is not usually very difficult.
