Where'd you walk this weekend?

Postby the_camera_poser » Sun 17 Aug, 2008 6:23 pm

I planted 120 birch trees and walked to and fro between my shed and the bathroom I'm renovating this weekend. Anyone go walking this weekend? Where'd you go? Got any good tales to tell?

I walked to the garage - multiple times - in the process of removing the head from my 80 series. Blown head gasket... Been quite a while since I've fiddled with such things, but its like riding a bike - you never really forget.

Hope someone has a more exciting tale than this!

I walked about 8 k's around North West Bay golf club in fairly average weather yesterday.
Today was spent doing some chores and getting ready for the BT Strollers next walk

I walked between the couch and my 23-month-old's potty about a thousand times today. The most frustrating part of this is that the potty never got a drop all day.

I'm feeling like an out-of-synch deviant here ...

... Southport Lagoon in via the new PWS 4WD track.

Then off-track north, spectacular camp on a small cliff overlooking the lagoon & opening to the wild seas, back to the car in a largish off-track loop on Sunday.

Party of 4 who braved the forecast and were rewarded with a grand spectacle of sky, clouds & sea in ever-shifting, swirling patterns. Near full moon too.

I walked up Jacksons Creek to Lake Myrtle then across to Meston hut and back. Was planning on going around to Junction Lake and up on to Cathedral but there was too much snow.
