The Tardis, Lake Leake
Pete, Goodie and myself tackle the dirt further. Coming into Meetus Falls
The MS road continues fairly well, despite a detour and retrace to the way I wanted to go. We get out to the cross roads where the road from Royal George goes down to Cranbrook. The MS road becomes the MG. Due to all the short runs and lots of stop starts, the XT gets a bit tired and decides to get a flat battery. After a bit of running down the road we manage to roll start. Pete asks if we should go on
"I'll be right" I say, "I'll keep her running, turn off the headlight and if I turn it off I'll stop on a good hill"
Well the MG doesn't take far before it starts showing signs of becoming rather dodgy. As it peters out into a single lane track, we're left wondering if we came down the right bit. After a rather rocky section I see I'm on a ridge above a valley. Looking at my map, I determine we must still be on the right "road"
This is the valley of Nowhere Else, behind the Fingal Tier
Rocky downhill into a rock covered bridge. Goodie lays the Shrek over coming down.
Bit of a causeway, nearly at the end of the MG!
The first beer at the St Marys Hotel is terrific. I haven't had it nearly as tough as Pete and Goodie but it was a real adventure ride all loaded up.
Once they ditch these useless stroms for some DRs they'll be laughing
. They did an excellent job, and after riding the WTFs on the last day, I am even more impressed at how these two handled these bikes through that
