    We all arrived at the meeting point about the same time and drove into the forest to park and unload. I met Polly400 for the first time and it was good to catch up with Dude again. Tryhard and Gavb were the other starters.

    We took off down a bit of a hill to get into the swing of things

    Moved onto open singles and then tighter singles

    Bit of a step up

    Gavb,“I’m sure there was a track here years ago”, did some exploring on foot. PIC_0006.jpg

    I found a kangaroo track to go down which lead nowhere so we went back up to the main road

    Gave B offered us a lift up the hill in his new car

    We hit the singles again

    Then to a lookout for a break

    There were a few more loops of singles which I think were the best of the day and back to the cars where Gavb put on an aerial display

    Then off to Kearsley pub just in time for a counterie and a drink.

    cheers

    It is a shame that cameras tend to destroy the true slope perspective:( :( :(

    Lotsa & Tryhard went down this hill only to find a dead end
    Some pics of the retreat

    Hey guys, thanks for another great day out.
    Its nice to ride somewhare a little different & the group flowed together nicely. That first down hill goes for ages with plenty of ruts and rocks to keep you on your toes. The views were awsome from the cilffs. We tryed to start the old commodore but I think the fuel might have gone off or it may have been the melted carby or something. It was getting warm towards the end so the beer and burger at Kearsley were a treat.
    Havnt been on the 450 much lately, so it was good to blow the cobwebs out. What a good bike it has soo much omph compared to the adventure bike.
    Had a ball

    Cheers Gav

    Brings back memories. We used to live at the vineyard 4th piccy from the bottom. Some great trails around that neck of the woods.
