UHF CB & Mobile Phones

In some area's of this cruise there are a lot of tight roads, with many turns. It would make life easier for everyone if you were in possession of a UHF CB Radio.

That way everyone can stay in contact, the leader can relay information about cars, road hazzards and directions...

Cheap CB's which will allow you to hear updates from the leader are available from any electronics store (I.e. Dick Smith) for under $40 each.

Decent CB's which will enable you to communicate at least 2km's in either direction are available for around $160.

If you need help with getting a CB, advice on which CB to get and which one not to get, etc.. Send me a PM

WARNINGS

The roads we are going on are very tight and windy.

There are hazzards such as rocks, branches, etc.. lying on the road (why we ask you to have a CB)

This is a very long cruise, covering over 650km's.

A 2km section of road is unsealed. We have gone over this road (very slowly) on a previous cruise with no issues. This road is in better condition than a lot of sealed roads.

You have to consider all these circumstances before you decide if this cruise is for you.

So who's in?
