I'm glad you have started a thread for this important question.

I would furthermore like to know what worm fuel economy is like. If I summon one, what do they run on? They seem to be plentiful and respond very reliably to thumpers, so I assume there are plenty of locations to fill up?

Anybody been? It looks like getting around by worm is the fastest and most convenient form of public transport but I’m confused how multiple people can embark and disembark. Anyone help? :worms:

Anyone know who the local BMC rep is? I've seen info about great looking desert towers but have heard the landowner has a reputation for being hostile to outsiders, would be good to open up access talks.
 
I went a few years back. Was a lovely trip until a local bloke started hassling us, pretending I was some sort of messiah. Everything I did, however trivial, he would mutter something about how "that's exactly what the Lasagna Guy would do". Ruined the trip tbh.
 
Best time of year to go? Sounds pretty warm a lot of the time. Night sessions maybe best?
 
A recent trip I heard about by a bunch of lads from a certain rainy island area got a bit out of hand and ended up with a jihad where 61 billion people died so I'd say avoid the local "recreationals"
 
Arakkis is all sandy choss, bad connies and giant centipedes, Caladan has got that pristine Squamish style granite going on.

Yeah but it rains 377 day per year.

Needs proper speakers / headphones. Anyone listening on a phone should throw it in the nearest river.
 
Arrakis is 88 light years away. If time or budget is tight, you might consider Perfection, Nevada.
Pros: climate and rock are pretty good
Cons: worms somewhat less domesticated.

If you're ever bouldering in Bishop, it's worth a visit to the Museum of Western Film History in Lone Pine, where they've got the actual Graboids from the film on display. Apparently, ownership of them has been retained by the film company should they wish to use them in future movies. We can but hope.
 
Might happen sooner than we think...

One key thing to mention is music is banned at all crags - ESPECIALLY any house, trance or techno.

The local wildlife really isn't a fan.
