The trail descends from Ebor into the Macleay River Valley and I rode that 20 years ago. It was stunning, but I know my limitations and feel I cannot cope with the endless river crossings and steep climb out of the valley this time. So detour it is.<\/p>\n<p>I arrived at the camping area at 11:00, or rather at the picnic and day use area where you supposedly are not allowed to camp, but where the picnic tables and shelters are.
