Scott, Pt Wakefield is around the 300km mark on the 400/600 and about 100km from Gawler on return via Balaklava, Owen, Hamley Bridge, Wasleys etc. Depends on how ur feeling u could power nap (20-30mins) at any place eg Pt Wakefield, Balak, Owen and Hambley. Last yr I had shocking gale force winds doing the 400 going up. On return I got to Hambley Bridge about 5am and needed 30' power nap. Did the trick and finished around 7am
