Tuesday the 12th of May – Nundle to Thunderbolts way

I love retired people. Every time I meet some, they feed me and look after me. Yesterday evening, even after the big group of veterans had gone to bed, two ladies came to chat. They told me how their husbands used to do charity rides, and when arriving in town, the whole community was there…

Sunday the 10th and Monday the 11th of May 2015 – Scone to Gundy and Gundy to Nundle

When I wake up this morning, my plan is to buy a usb stick so that I can transfer my videos onto it and send them to my girlfriend in Victoria for her to upload them online. That way my friend (now in Asia but soon to return to Berlin) can look them over and…

Thursday the 7th – Cudgegon River to Philips Cutting via Null Mountain, Myrtle Grove and Widden

The alarm goes off at 5am, earlier than usual. Days are getting shorter and shorter. I need to be ready to go as soon as the sun rises. It’s a rather cold morning and I’m slow at waking up, slow at preparing breakfast and slow at packing up. Im not sure how efficient I can…

Wednesday the 6th – North of Glen Alice to Cudgegon River

This morning I knock on the door of a house but nobody is inside so I keep going to another house, an old couple is having breakfast and let me use their phone. I get in touch with the deer farmer who will leave the gates open for me. Once back on the trail I…
