Eight mates set out to tackle the tough two: The Finke Desert Race and The Simpson.

Eight of us were heading out from the NSW east coast to the Simpson Desert, catching the Finke Desert Race on the way. We had three brand-new SWM 650s, two KTM 690s, a DR650, a DRZ plus a Land Rover support vehicle.

Winter kicked in cold and wet as we started and got worse as we went through the blue mountains.
