Canberra to The Oaks

[Matt]

This could have been a "Canberra to Merimbula" story but a few things came up (mainly the very thick smoke haze between Canberra and Merimbula) so we ended up at The Oaks instead for what was another great day with the gang up there. The weather was perfect except for a bit of haze but this disappeared during the afternoon.

 

Met some new folks there including Bruce who becaome another face and name on the ever growing "right seat" list for SporStar3978.

 

 

Had to twist Darren's arm to get him to go up again...you can tell by the look on his face that he really didn't want to be there

 

 

Sunny kept us company in the calm blue skies...when he could catch us :)

 

 

And coz I know Darren loves these so much :), here's some GPS tracks of the days antics

 

This one's Bruce's flight

 

 

This one's Darren's flight...and no, there were no drinkies before this flight, just having fun chasing Sunny around the sky :)

 

 

And here's the "there and back" track from Canberra...via Mittagong & Goulburn...fuel stop at Goulburn on the way home.

 

 

Next week will be "Canberra to Merimbula", we're due for a service!

Top stuff.

 

Merimbula next week Matt? Not going to see you at Mudgee then?

 

You and Darren are coming Emma? That'll be great.

 

I got my remaining ducks in a row and I'll be at Mudgee - weather permitting of course.

Hey Emma - got the next best thing to getting Christine to come, her daughter is coming with me. She is very keen. So you'll have an extra for the girl brigade after all. She's 18.
