Thursday 14 Feb 2019<\/p>\n

A very different day. It started out a little drizzly and quite windy so I was seriously contemplating staying another day in the cozy camp kitchen. But the drizzle stopped, the wind became less, I was starting to feel under accomplished, and so I got going after all. Colin and Carrol left just before 10 and I just after 10.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was thoroughly overcast and the temperature pretty well was stuck at 16\u00ba with just a brief period that it rose to 20\u00ba and back down. It was still quite windy and I wore my sweater and wind breaker the whole time which I’ve never done before.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just before I got to the Nundle turnoff I was riding in fog or low hanging clouds and the temperature dropped to 15 and then 14\u00ba. Hmmmm, this is summer? Topdale Road is at 1300m but still.<\/p>\n

The TSR we only a few clicks down the road.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With lots of deadfall to camp beside and sit on.<\/p>\n

Tons of delicious ripe blackberries<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Numerous large holes which I reckon are made by wombats.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And even a trickle of a creek to wash up in. All in all not a bad place to camp. But it remained foggy and the temperature dropped to 13\u00ba, so I had a quick cup of soup and couscous with peas and cheese. Then crawled into my tent and sleeping bag long before it got dark but quickly fell asleep anyway.<\/p>\n
