Heading from Coffs Harbour to Qld via Goondiwindi. 20 foot van, 3lt Nissan. What's the best route over the range?

A. Coffs, Dorigo, Armidale

B. Coffs, Grafton, Glenn Innes

C. Coffs, Casino, Tenterfield

Thanks

PS. Unfortunately it's not me travelling but an old mate who asked for advice. Told him I would ask the "Brains Trust"

My preference would be B, via the Gwydir then C via the Bruxner and wouldnt consider A. Just my views from my experience in recent times.

Yes BC. You gave me the same advice years ago and I took it and now advise others accordingly. Hope you are keeping well.

G'day Martin, if he goes via 'C' he could play a game or three going through Casino and be a real traveler going through Tenterfield. 

 

Sorry martin but someone was bound to say something so why not me smile

 

I actually agree with Dmaxer though. 

 

 

Keep Safe on the roads and out there.

I am Dmaxer, am quite well, just getting back to touring by bicycle again, but with 2 other riders my age there abouts, I am 66, neighbour is 76, and another friend is 67, and we are training to do a 300-500km tour in early December, with our dogs, I haven't actually been out for a long while, and the others, are just coming back riding since they were young adults, so it has been very enjoyable, the comraderie and as men being men away from our wives, we have had a great time this week, we are also hitting the gym again to help with the training.

How have you been?, I have not been here for a while, so do miss what's going on.

I am going well BC, Where are you going on this tour. Sounds pretty good. Going over any hills or looking for an easier route. Looking forward to hearing all about it.
