What a day...
Left home at 4:20 to meet a mate of mine Mick at the local servo. He got fuel, I got drink and we both had our start dockets.
Time to go
We head past a couple of shady looking characters in a closed servo out on Brookton highway who did not respond to my radio call so Mick and I carried on.
Aim was to hit Brookton at 6 to meet up with Yorkie, Wombat, Turtle, and Gavo. Unfortunately, hitting Brookton came after hitting a bird about 50 or 60 kms out. Silly thing came right up from the side of the road and I thought it just hit my helmet.
Turns out (after wondering why it was so bloody noisy) that before it hit my helmet, it hit Yorkies screen that was on loan to me and took out half of that as well as my GPS on the shelf.

Not a good start. Anyhow, my first words to Yorkie when i saw him were "I owe you a new screen"
After that, all seemed to go pretty smooth apart from the fact that i could not hear anything but wind for the whole day.
Sunrise at Brookton
We left Brookton around 6:25 (I think) and after traveling down through Wagin, we stopped at Mt Barker for a refuel.
(Looking a bit lopsided on the front)
From there we toddled into Northcliffe around 12:30 for check in. Had a very large served lunch (after the poor bar girl got through taking a plethora of photos from everyone's cameras).

Said goodbye to Yorkie & Gavo (Mal, and Scarp had already left) and then back on the road around 2:30.
Fuel again for Wombat and I in Busselton, then onward and homewards.
Changed screen back to factory one at Wombat's work and then back here around 8pm.
1099km done for the day breaking in new helmet with no screen.
Over all, expensive but great day.
Edit for Spot Screenshot for the trip :)
