Pete & Carols Pad - Narooma !

6 "out of staters" recently assembled at Pete & Carols Pad in Narooma for some adventure days. While the activity is still ongoing (read that Peter can't throw the feeloaders out) some early highlights of cycling, fishing, swimming and bullshitting included - 

Three beautiful days of cycling following Pete's meandering leadership through picturesque countryside 

Kerri getting stuck in the shower after the water ran out covered only in soapy bubbles (the boys did at least offer to pop the bubbles !)

Pete giving an expert class on how to fillet a fish on the breakfast table with Kirsten taking great interest planning on doing the same to Gavin after he sadly lost his wallet (again) in Sth America

Yvonne being banished to the Boys truck for excessive night time groaning 

Yuta's 4 star Glamping set up   

Jurgen taking a lead role in the BBQ Sausage Dept - great job 

Speaking of sausages , The girls wanting to check out the local studs (Clive) equipment with a personal visit ! 

A great effort by the boys in the dishwashing dept, maybe some plates still had food on them, maybe some were still glistening with suds and just maybe they the plates etc didnt go back where they belonged but boy were we quick despite Carol yelling at us ha !

With the gang slowly returning to Melbourne many thanks to Pete and Carol for being great hosts and a fab time ! Check out the video

Mount Worth ride

A great day's ride! Mostly warm sunny day, some hills, some flats, and a long downhill to the coffee stop at Fozzigobble in Yarragon, and of course good company. 

No incidents except that Helen and Werner decided to turn south instead of continuing east. They would have ended up in Leongatha and a very long way back to Warragul. Luckily they talked to a local who said they'd better turn back and catch up with us.
