    good point. i carry my mobile phone with me, not ideal i know, but can often get service on top of a hill, not deep in the bush obviously, but keeps piece of mind at watagans at least!

    If you get some more info, feel free to pass it along as i like all the little gadgetry that comes with adventure riding!!

    i wouldnt mind getting my hands on a little 2 way also garry. 5 watt would be good for distance but but bilky and expensive. i dont know much about them, but definately would be a good idea on the trail. Have a look in outdoor mags, there is a little device called SPOT i think?! its like an epirb type thingy, but family/friends can track your progress via satellite, and has a bunch of features. Might be worth a look, just a thought.

    crazy fires in vic hey, the old girl lives in NE Vic, so pretty close to some fronts, but had some milder weather the last few days, waiting for the southerly change to see if it flare up and pushes towards the Bright area.

    did very little actually Mick. Ant got a hold of me but we couldnt settle on a mutual date for a ride, which is a shame because it would have been good to take him out for a bash in Victorian bush!! Next time perhaps!
