Newfoundland roads are hilly, curvy and very scenic. Leaving the pavement for a completely flat and straight trail seems a bit masochistic considering the T'railway doesn't really go anywhere the roads don't.

I, too, just returned home from the NL Trailroad trip on my klr650. Ferry to ferry, west to east, all on trail. The "Gaf top sail" (silly name) section was a bit of a drag with the overgrowth. But the trail is not all doom and gloom. Just got to be comfortable on loose gravel, stand up, and have your witts about ya. Average 72kmh over 4 days. Wonderful wild camping spots along the way, on beaches for 3 nights. I don't take vid, or very many pics, so I'm looking forward to seeing what's upcoming.

@@larry710 yes, you did it the right way. The T’Railway should be treated as its own thing where it’s all that you do for 4-6 days. No set schedule and camp however far you get each day.

Looking forward to the vid(s). Not a fan of the trailway. I enjoy the first few miles alongside the water but once the alders start to close in and the ruts deepen, i'd rather be somewhere else. Looks like you may have mirrored (pun intended) the damage Itchy Boots suffered in her 60k wanderings. Which tablet did you settle on? I put the 8" Ulefone ruggedized on the RT and so far no issues but i'm not using the quadlock system for it. Cheers from Sussex NB!
@506motoadv3 ай бұрын
I went with the Ulefone rugged 8” as well. It works a treat, I just need to do a better job applying the universal Quadlock mount I think. My final thoughts on the T’Railway: It’s doable, but not really enjoyable. There’s too much to see in Newfoundland to waste your time staring at gravel and alder bushes doing everything you can to stay out of the dreaded berm. If someone wants to do the whole T’Railway they need to go into it with the understanding that it’s all they’ll be doing for 5 or 6 days. No set schedule. Camp however far you make it each day. Once a section slows you down and you’re behind on where you expected to be it’s hard to mentally get around that. Again, it’s doable with the right amount of time and there are some views worth the extra work……but if you only have a week in Newfoundland on two wheels, don’t waste it fighting the alder bushes. Haha Cheers!
