So up over the Sideling we go. Back stepped out on one tight slippery left hander so I didn't push it too hard. Still, managed to catch up to a motarded DR 650 I think, before turning up Targa Hill Road at Myrtle Bank. Thought I might go through Patersonia Road and take the link across to Lilydale Road, but when I got to this intersection, I changed my mind... again...
Nabowla, now there's somewhere I don't think Ive been too. May as well have a look. Only 23kms away...
Now only 21km. I break the wrist srtap on my camera when I get it caught in the pocket zipper of my jacket
Well it looks like it might be a nice way to go
The sign says Lisle Road, The big sign says C827, so I just have to follow the signs, right?
Pass a white ford panel van on the side of the road. May or may not be stolen, may or may not be out inspecting the dope plantation, I don't stop to find out!
Fast through here
So, following the signs, I seem to be on the right road
That says Nabowla on the left, and Myrtle Bank, which is wher I've just come from, so all good so far, although things like this don't instil me with a lot of confidence
Just up there is a 4 way intersection. I don't have any maps or gps on me, and there are missing and smashed beyond recognition signs on the posts. Well by process of elimination, I decide that the one I've already come up is out, as is the one in vaguely the same direction. I recognise this intersection from a dirt ride a few years back when I brought the XT up in here following some blokes on smaller lighter bikes, and this happened
But I digress!
I choose the left fork, as I think this will take me roughly in the right direction. Onward I plunge, through pine plantation forestry roads. A bit rough, but firm, wondering where I will emerge
Well this looks alright!
Now to see if it will get me where I want to go. The sun is getting lower in the sky now.
