Good to see Pete doing it easy on his big trip, hope it all goes well.
You weren't kidding about the road in Dungog. Avoiding all the holes was impossible, but I found my share.  :cuss

After Gloucester,  PC and STevo rode with me.   STevo peeled off and Pete and I went on via Thunderbolts to Watch for the night.   In the mornings rain threatened,  but we had a dry ride down the Oxley and North on the Pacific to Bellingen.   While having lunch at the OldButter Factory Cafe is started raining in ernest (find it on the map 😁)  We had a very wet ride up the mountain and the first part of the Waterfall Way.  We refueled at Armidale and both the ST1300 and the RT took exactly the same amount of fuel.   We spent abeaut night with Chris and Jean.   My plan has changed for the next couple of days so watch Kevs updates of my Spot for my route.

Pete left Gyra sometime after 8am this morning, heading east. Unknown which course he is taking, so I will have to watch his spot.

The weather here at Guyra was our chilliest so far this year....2 degrees at 0730 and a considerable, so below zero.

Pete is continuing with his New England / Pacific Hwy zig zag.


cheers

If it's like what I use device may store points and send them when back in range of a ignal.  Mine did that between Cunnamulla and Ballon a couple of ears ago.
