    There are no decent pictures sorry what happened was strong flowing deep river short legs. The 2nd time was short legs but pinned under the bike with head just above the water.
    Still today did 54 crossings on the haunted stream track no problems rode Mt Pinnabar to the top on the fully loaded Tenere which was amazing

    Boony we have ridden some great country some stuff twice as hard as the Jurds ride

    Eagle it doesnt float but the wolfman bags don’t leak

    For those that haven’t got out to experience this Mt Pinnabar is a climb to over 1800m that was an hr of climbing what is rocky or slippery track, either one wheel track or the other

    You guys should be concentrating on which two shared the double bed last night and it didn’t surprise me knowing what DR riders are like

    Going to have some beers, if you aren’t here you loose

    Yesturday was probably the best day I have had on a motorbike, the terrain we rode couldn’t have been more diverse. We started with endless winding twin track in and out of creeks along a beautiful valley floor , then we began an epic climb to get to the highest ride-able mountain in Australia.

    The Tenere surprised me how it handled it all with ease and was only a bit of a handful on the very steep rocky downhills.
    We ended the day with TB , myself and Fish racing from Tom Groggin to Thredbo for a beer , using every inch of the tyres round some fun twistys.

    Today we split from Mickp , lotsa, tryhard and motodude and the remaining 6 of us are off on another 3 day adventure …. Somewhere !!!! :woohoo:

    That run up Mt Pinnbar is a must do to put on your bucket list!! It’s a Cracker of a ride on your Enduro machine (ask Hatto)……..I can’t imagine how difficult it would have been on a fully loaded road/ trail machine!!!

    The view at the summit would have made all the swearing, sweat and concerntration worth while! And getting down in one piece safe and sound would have topped off a brilliant day!! ………..Envy City!

    Well done and stay safe

    Hi guys, just got home 11pm tonight. We had a great trip :P

    Here is a link to Lotsas spot tracker as we split from the others this morning and the second days track will be different to Nick & TB as they went to Omeo to give TB’s bike a few oil changes to get the water out of the oil :sick: while I led the rest of the pack down to Ensay then to Dargo where we caught up again with Nick and TB
