Eags`s Makes it to Yellow Rock

Well late yesterday evening the Minister for War & Finance told me to get out of the house for a half day ride as she was feeling a tad better after having a rough week from her Chemotherapy treatment,
I needed to be told only once, as this wasn`t related to any house chores :laugh: and it would also give me a great chance to finally get out to Yellow Rock, which I had failed to find last ride due to running out of time & daylight.

Made a call to hit Millfield for 8-8.30 am for a coffee, which hit the spot after a freezing run over the Sugarloaf Range and 30 klms of peasoup fog and around 8 degrees temp. :unsure:
And for the record, it was a Cappucino (Not a LATTE) and a Vanilla Slice that I had already consumed before grabbing a pic

Then headed out to the intersection of Wollombi & Cedar Creek Rd then up into the mountains to find the trail head that leads onto one of the many ridgelines , the question was , which one leads to Yellow Rock ?
I was in luck and in for a treat today, as the first one I took was indeed the right one.
I was greeted beautiful warm winter sunshine with this for a view

The valley far below was full of fog which was going to take some time to clear, so I decided to just hang about, have a good look around and grab some pics.

This Bloke kept getting in the way of the pics (thanks to timer option on the Nikon) :silly:

After a couple of hours, I headed back along the ridge and poked the 690 down some more trails off to the left & right, but all ended up being too overgrown & disused and not giving access to any better views due to the massive trees that have grown on the sides of the escarpments.

Then I took a leisurely run back down the mountain and took a few pics at the creek and crossing on Sawpit Rd and the old timber bridge near Wollombi Rd.

All in all a fantastic morning run that got me to where I wanted to go, great views, beautiful stress free silence and was still home for a 12.30 lunch.
Am I happy ? Damn oath I am
