    ......went away at the start of June for a little sanity break but it has been so hectic since I returned I completely forgot to post any pics !!


    I will say that out here it has been wet....really wet...and still is. Heading up the country things did not bode well....

    And yes the place was REALLY wet, in fact the property had had lots more rain that anywhere else, the tracks were slush and to top it off it was bloody cold (that said I prefer being away in the cold). I arrived Friday evening and I normally don't light the fire till the following day but this time around I cranked it up. Wood was a bit of an issue but we had enough to last a few days (mostly larger pieces not cut up at the end of April that everyone else who may have been there thought too big to burn, took to them with the saw asap).


    My friend discovered how wet the tracks were when he tried to do a three point turn and got stuck....

    ....if you look at a previous thread he also got stuck then, that left me questioning the functioning of his auto-locking hubs. So did this ! Upon his return to civilisation he surely found that they were no longer functioning (this explained more than a few issues he had had.


    Some hunting....

    Weather continued to alternate between really cold or wet....!!! In a cold phase I went and topped up the wood box !!

    And that was about it, honestly just enjoyed being disconnected for a week and listening to the sound of rain on an iron roof.
