Can't wait for The Munga to start tomorrow. Interesting route, part of the route is also part of the Old Forgotten Highway/Original Diamond Route between Ceres and Kimberley. It's going to be hard, very hard! Will be interesting to see what everyone's strategies going to be, where they sleep and for how long, equipment, weather, terain, etc . Good luck!

if nothing else, this is AFAIK the first local race to use the SPOT tracking system. 

 

it uses satellites, so none of this GSM darkholes where vodacom/mtn (understandably)don't have reach. only recently been available here, as you can see there's a new dot over our country

How many entrants are there for this race?

I remember all the hype last year, then it fell off the radar.

 

I stand to be corrected, but think there are about 30 entries. Should get an accurate figure on the live timing tomorrow when it kicks off.
