Mid North XC round 3-4.
We all meet at Lochiel Cafe. The temperature was getting hot maximum approx 35 degrees with flies hangging around you, very distracting. So we headed to Slim's Hill in a convoy. Slims Hill is a NW site on the north-south range of Lochiel (W), Barn Hill (SE-SW).
Slim's Hill South Australia
Launch at Slim's Hill South Australia
Goal Farrell Flat, 60kms with a turnpoint at Blyth.
PK decided to launch then Gazza (Garry) after him.
So, PK radio me to start driving. We have those funny gates here in South Asutralia, they are hard to open especially on a property. Had to asked another retriever to help me out.
So off I trott heading to Farrell Flat South Asutralia trying to catch up with PK before he made goal. I got there half way before he packed up. Then Gazza made goal, PK and Gazza made goal Saturday. Fantastic
