well the trip started out after myself, scotty, glen and kendal(scottybobcat), heath and the kids (heata), darren (ridgie), matty (docp1980) and casey (case84) meeting up and camping on friday alongside a nice flowing stream. we were lucky enough that case had come up earlier and collected firewood and even brought some from home to keep us warm for the night. as usual the drinks were flowing and so was the conversations late into the night.
morning time came around and the sun was out looking to be a great day to start off our weekend and once we were all packed up casey showed us to our first warm up hill climb but unfortunately had to turn around and head home due to work commitments. once we reached the top of the hill and our hearts had slowed back down to a normal level we continued on along some great trails with many river crossings for the day and one last great hill climb that had us all hoping we would make it without stopping then along to our chosen campsite for the night.
not too long after a little mishap occurred. whilst putting on our roast for dinner the camp oven decided to flare up and give darren a decent burn, with everyone throwing there opinions and first aid kits we had him bandaged up and stiring the others up in no time.
soon our last day had dawned against us it was time to take our final leg of the trip through some more great tracks, checking out a hut that wasnt looking as great as what it would some time ago but still amazing to see, one last hillclimb and we were done. a quick stop off to air up and down to the dargo hotel for our final stop for a feed before leaving for home, but unfortunatly we had missed the cut off for lunch time by about 15mins so we decided to venture off home and the memories will definatly be around for years to come. thanks again to everyone who came along and made this trip what it was and to matty for organising yet again another great time out camping and 4x4ing.
heres a few photos that i took ill upload some more soon when i get them off glenn.
ps. iv just gotten an email from glenn, hes currently in hospital with a suspected ruptured appendix so thoughts go out to him at this time.
