This is the day of some really nice windy roads on the Alpine Rd... heading towards The Great Alpine Rd. It felt like we should be on HRT therapy today after climbing to around 2000m and freezing - having to put our wet weather jackets to fend off the wind, only to have to take them off again descending to near ground level. Today was a long day - we covered a few k's on gravel roads -at times very corrugated. Gav took the lead and left Pol in the dust - the 1200 is magic. At one stage there was a sign for a single lane traffic bridge ahead - we thought oh yeah no worries...until a truck was on its way over so we had to find somewhere very soon to pull over in the gravel and hope Gav and Pols footing didn't slip! We arrived at camp not having had organised anything for the night and it turned out to be a very picturesque site - Gav even managed to use the 1200 for what it's really designed for - enduro- through small shrubs at varying heights made for a very fun, long and in the end gratifying journey from the parking lot to the waterfront with a mountain of plants and trenches in between.
