Quick weekend trip

[longbow steve]

Tex and I headed out on the bikes to check out a new trout river and State forest this weekend. No fish or game down so we had to eat tinned food but had a good time non the less. Here are some pics of the action.

We watched some trout in the stream and flicked a lure about but had no luck. Next time I will try a fly

Camp was setup at a good looking spot and off we went for a wander with the bow.

We managed to see a few Fallow Deer(out of season) and a couple of Hare. Plenty of pig sign too.

We got a bit of rain over night and into the morning so the roads got a bit greasy

Yeah Steve it still looks the same I know exactly where that rope swing is.
theres some big ones in there.
Live worms used to work ok but the live grasshoppers were the go
Did you camp at the hole?

[longbow steve]

Thanks Rod.
Hey Jeff, Yeah I will get out there again. We camped in the forest so we could do an afternoon and a morning walk.

[longbowinfected]

Bit hard to carry a winch and/or a chain saw on a bike, eh?
I bet you still took your mini coffee machine and your fold up bed. Tough life mate but I suppose someone has to do it.

Thanks for the storey....but when you told us about the size of the girth of the tree when you called in to the club you made it sound much bigger.....love your Evil Keneval ramp.

Steve there is another forest track that gets you to a more secluded area about 3ks downstream.Was the sign for the hole still there?was there evidence of people going there a lot?

[Gringa Bows]

Looks like it was a lot of fun Steve.....

Looked like it was a good way to spend a couple of days even if ya didn't get any game or fish. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jeff
There was a lot of evidence that people have been at the water hole.Empty beer cans, bottles and tire tracks.

Hey Steve the Triumph photo you posted looks awesome. I didn't see one with the black rims if I did I would have grabbed it. I think I will need the rack for sure.
Thanks for a great weekend and use of your bike. I can't wait to do it again. But I don't want to get my new bike dirty.

Yes to the coffee machine but an ultra light version called a Java Drip

The sign for the hole wasn't there. There was rubbish as Tex said but no one has been there since the tree has come down I reckon.

The back of Jenolan Caves,Cowmung river??

Not far wrong, The Cowmung is on my list. Also Yeranderie at the back of Waragamba I want to do soon. When you start looking at Google earth there are so many places you can go on a bike up here.

Looks like it was a lot of fun Steve.....

We had fun

Thanks Kieth, I will have to look up Burnt Hole creek and Dingo Dell. It is a great spot to live.

Thanks Jeff, I needed a break after working Christmas and New Years. I feel motivated again.

No worries Mark, thanks for coming and helping me push my bike around .
Did you see the pannier frame setup in that photo?
Ohh and I found the fossicking area that we were talking about. Steve

There out on the eastern side of Oberon prison camp one of the main tracks takes you out there Steve.

Steve i got the bike today. Nice to ride on the black stuff. Will be interesting off road. Not as easy with throttle as your 250 pretty touchy. I would have come up today to show you but I had a long night at work Friday , started at 7 am and finished at 1.30 in the morning, I need to get out of that job.
Can,t wait till we go out on another adventure.
Have you thought of a destination?

I am doing Clarence to Hill End via Sunny Corner-Sofala-Bridle Track next month but on the little bike. I dont know, I suppose you need to decide if you are happy to go off road .
The fossicking area is in the middle of a State Forest and we could do Dingo Dell/Kowmung river fire trail like Kieth suggested? Steve
