long way to Walcha

the gang left kempsey Saturday morning around 730 am and headed
towards Gloucester via varous back roads

had our latte' and headed up Thunder bolts way to the lookout

the view was very good for this time of year

from here we headed to Nuddle via Stepehens Cutting( Casey Stoner's off season training hill) down to Dungowan for lunch ( foot note anyone traveling in these parts watch out as I have never seen so many cops marked and unmarked we were very lucky )
then off to the Power House Musemum in Tamworth worth a look if you have never been there




then off to the pub at Walcha Apsley Gorge for beers and food


next morning was a bit frostie so late start

slow cruize down the Oxley as it was bloody cold to Gingers for coffee and sandwich then home before lunch sundie

Thanks Wacko,

Hey is it possible to post up a map, 'cause I would like to follow in your tire tracks if you knaow what I mean.

Cheers
Graham

Good one Wacko!

Looks like another cracker of a ride!

Is Thunderbolts being maintained, or is it still in disrepair?

Jeez...starting to get a swivel-neck.

Don't know where to look first with all those fantastic ride-reports and loads of pics coming in at the moment.


Keep it up folks, this is GREAT

no probs Graham I play techonlogy all day........never plained anything on google maps yet

Every time I ride past the Powerhouse Museum in Tamworth I say to myself "I don't have enough time today, I have to stop there next time", and every next time I don't have the same amount of time. I REALLY need to make sure next time I'm there at lunchtime or at least set aside an hour or so.

The same went for the Mt Panorama motor museum. I must have ridden past there half a dozen times before i finally stopped and went inside, albeit a short visit, but so much to see and well worth the cheap entry fee even for a short stop.

Thanks for the pics.

http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=d&....5662,151.88831&sspn=1.179433,2.463684&num=10
between points E and F you can take a dirt road to Nudle we didn't for a couple of reason's, 1. there had been large rain's and flooding, 2. you can wait some time for your food at Nudle pub and we were keen to have a drink PM me as we have been over most for that area

Thanks Rod, Much appreciated

Is it ALWAYS freezing cold in Walcha? We had 3 overnight stops in Walcha in the past and each and every time there was frost overnight!

Thanks for sharing wacko!
