Hiya,

Is there a thread somewhere re how to plan a trip? I searched but couldn't such a thing.

My question is when planning a trip where you're the lead there's some core things you'd need to know or assume or work out. One of these is time required.

Given you've picked your (intended) route, are there any rules of thumb re estimating the average speed and therefore time that should be allowed to cover the distance over different types of terrain?

ie
Sand - beach, inland dune, etc.
Bush - State forest fire trails.

Cheers.
