XC trip - Circle across Canada and the US
Fellow Ppruners,
This is not a new idea nor a difficult one to execute I suppose but I'm really looking for tips and suggestions that will help make this trip successful. Appreciate any guidance.
The Trip
I'm planning on mapping out a route across Canada and US on a 5000 NM XC trip. I'm thinking to begin in Toronto flying west to alberta before heading south down the Cali coastline, across to texas and then back north to toronto. Not sure how many states I will cross at the moment.'
Equipment - Thinking of doing this in a C172.
If all goes well, i'm thinking the trip should take me less than 2 weeks (flying 5-6 hours a day)
Has anyone done extended XC trips like this before? I know people have done solo trips and crossed the earth, but what should i expect?
What equipment / accessories are must haves. Best GPS, considerations?
any thoughts would be useful.
