Channel point camp ground to Little Moyle

Post by sgazzola88 »

Looking for some info,

Does anyone know the distance between Channel point camp grounds and the Little Moyle?

Researching a trip and looking to see if anyone has done it? Is there any hazards? How much juice did you use?

Thanks in advance

70 odd km/s?

Just google map it Channel Point as your start point and then to the Moyl as destination,

You will give you the road plan, then use the scale measure to generally work it out?

Ive done it from Dundee but had a mothership for fuel storage. Its a huge trip and you will need to do your homework with fuel etc. Gets extremely hairy around Cape Ford on big tides. BIG WAVES! Nearly swamped my boat there so go wide. Also Little Moyle is very shallow at the mouth. Fishing is good sometimes but that is depending on what the netters have taken.

Yeah I'm getting about 115 - 120 km on Google maps to the mouth going between the Perons and channel point from the ramp.

Open Google maps, right click your start location, scroll down and click "measure distance", right click your end destination and click "distance to here". You can drag dog legs out of the set course and you can keep adding on more legs by clicking "measure to here" over and over.

Mate, did a trip from Channel Point in Oct last year and went to the Big Moyle & then the little Moyle on the way back in a 6.5Mtre Stab Craft with 250Yamaha and burnt 200ltres of fuel.As the boys have said below, beware of all the sandbars at the mouth of the small moyle, try and pick good days with lower winds, we got hammered on the way down from Channel point to cape ford and then got around cape forward thinking it would be better, Now way, its a long journey and hopefully worth it. It took 4 hours to get to the Big Moyle on the way down.
