In 1785 Robert Burns composed the poem To A Mouse in which he penned the words ‘the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry’. Don Bromfield is no poet, but his best-laid plans still went awry.

Tea Tree Road on the run north from Yunta.

Plan A started in October when I purchased a new KTM 690 Enduro R and had it fitted up with good gear from Barrett’s, B&B and so on. What could be a better test than a run through the dirt tracks of the Victorian and NSW high country in, say, January? But first there was the small matter of a November Compass Expeditions ride down Chile’s Caraterra Austral to enjoy.
