I'm not sure on this route - some help?

Can you guys give me some help with this google maps route? Doesn't seem helpful to me. It's like I'm running around in rings here.

New Route - Google Maps

It's subtle... very very subtle.... but very very funny.

Difficult trip. Last person to do it only just made it. Leaving all the bling behind might make it a bit easier but pointless. Ring around a couple of friends and see if they can help.

It is a difficult trip. I'd suggest you need a pretty good gang of people.... everyone needs to bring something different to the game - but then if you felt you had a better chance of finishing it alone I guess you could always just slope off on your own.

My only real concern is that the last section seems incredibly tough - hot, dry, arid and quite rocky... I think it's something you'd have to keep an eye on.

I think I need a puff on my pipe to think about it some more.

I'm not sure it's the terrain that's so much the problem, it's more a case of having a positive attitude and just taking it one step at a time. Plenty of examples of people giving up within sight of their goal and that's when you need a good support team - even if you keep them out of sight. Someone with animal instincts who can sniff out alternative approaches can be worth their weight in gold.
