Ant, another friend Jeff and I decided to venture out to the Toolangi forest and surrounding areas. The day started with a catchup at Diamond Creek mcdonalds. From there we went up to St andrews then cut across to Buttermans track to get to Yarra Glen.
The next section of the ride was aimed at getting to Toolangi from here. But this part of the ride I had'nt planned or mapped. We decided to keep going on SkyLine road and then it looked like we'd end up on Healesville kinglake road but we ended up in someones house lol.
Turned around and took left at steels creek road and kept going. Same thing happened. Ended up on someones house, dead end. Only this time there was a dog on that property lol.
Then I gave up, onto Melba highway then right and then onto toolangi forest through Sylvia creek road. The temperature dropped to 11'C in the forest and visibility was shit due to severe fog. We decided to take a quick exit through main dirt roads to Buxton. Lunch was had with some chips.
THen back in to the Black ranges. This time, the sun had cleared the fog. So we decided to do some 4x4 tracks. This is when the strom was dropped for the first time on a ride. (I have dropped teh strom before but in the drive way!!)
Here are some photos after the drop and from times when i stopped to look at the map. not many photos from the morning because we had our hands full with the Fog and getting lost
In the right spirit of photography, the first thing I asked the boys to do after I had a fall was to take a photo!
I am lost again!!
