After a few more weeks of work and Rugby I thought it was about time I ventured out of the southern Highlands to do something a little more exciting. What better thing to go and do than head down to the snow in Jindabyne It so happened that a group of the lads from Rugby wanted to come along too to make the whole trip a lot more enjoyable.

What a result a real smart car and a dog and a beautiful house to stay in and I am getting paid for it too. Actually getting to Lantern Hill which...
