Just a brief report, hopefully will be supplemented by others with photos.
We all met as planned at Gingers where everybody was early. After priming ourselves with coffee, and some with a small cake, we set off on the great trek through the Avon Valley. Despite the recent unseasonal rain, the roads were in summer condition, dry, corrugated and dusty. One or two puddles were found however to give us a bit of fun. Big Col did most puddles two or three times, forwards and backwards, fast and slow, because he could. The convoy proceeded in an orderly manner until we were confronted by A LOCKED GATE. Although this could have been bypassed, we decided in the spirit of conservation, and because most of us were wearing club tee shirts, that we would return down the track and continue on public roads. We were soon back onto the bitumen and on into Toodyay for a sausage sizzle at the park. Macka and Steph left for home at this point and the rest of us headed down to Noble Falls. After a quick cool off and wander around the falls, everybody left for home. Overall a great day out, just proving that not every trip has to be a challenge. Thanks to Paul and Tiala for once again organising a great day out.
