Just like every other adventure, it starts with a dream. I’ve been wanting to ride up to Cape York and do the Old Tele Track for many years now, but I found myself slightly anxious in doing it alone after quick research online; the river and creek crossings, the big drops, unknown terrain, crocs, Gunshot Creek, and the list goes on. I decided to wait until I get a chance to do this with a few other riders. I hope this article may give you a little more of a better insight that a trip to the tip isn’t as daunting as it seems.
