Wiggy,fred,marls and myself met at the stockyard bar carpark 9am . Wiggy marls and i geared up only to find fred still getting ready (to busy yackin) , so by 10am were ready to go , hang on,fred left his tool belt at home . C mon Fred , wiggy and i have tools lets go.We headed down a track that took us to a bridge. Cross the bridge and into mormon town track , long up hill track not to steep . One section in particular very greasy with marls needing a little assistance. At the intersection of mormon and britannia Wiggy let me off the the leash down the rest of mormons and I had a blast, ye ha .Left down binns rd took us to army , a little way into army we got to intersection of army and fultons creeck trk ,we left marls on corner duty while the three of us did a loop of these tracks . Steep but not too steep and a litle rocky but not unbarable , with lots of erosion mounds too get a little air these tracks are fast and great fun. Coming down fultons i decided to look back to see how Wiggy and Fred were travlin and my husky decided it was tired an had a lay down,so up b4 anyone could see and onward down ,we went ,passing a few 4wd on the way. WE met back up with Marls and headed back to binns rd .Fred and Marls head to Walhalla via road while Wiggy and I went to deep creek no 5 then no 2 ,into gladstones around into britannia and down into Walhalla for lunch with Fred and Marls . With lunch done Wiggy took us around Walhalla for some sightseeing , remnances of old copper mines of yesteryear and the likes . Wiggy's wealth of knowledge on the area is outstanding , I highly recommend if you get a chance to ride the area with him , do it . Back through Walhalla into brittania onto mormons (watchout for that choppy muddy bit ) across the bridge back up the track into stockyard bar carpark . Packed up ,with 102 klms on the clock ,Freds shout for a beer and headed home around 6pm . A very big thankyou to rideleader WIGGY , tailman FRED , gunrider MARLS , I had an absolute pisser of a day .

Good report Sean sounds awesome out there

Hi All,
Big thanks to Wiggy for putting on his last minute ride from Rawson to Walhalla. After returning from the big wet at Abbeyard late on Sunday night & still keen for a ride, a cruise through the hills of Walhalla sounded like just what we needed. Like Seano said already, a great day out with only a few spots of drizzle and plenty of up & downhills & clay mud baths  ??? We had a great day & look forward to riding the area again soon.
Here are some pics of the day.
Cheers,
Marls & Freddo

ps  Seano, don't try & fluff over that Army track loop ::)...Just because your skill levels have increased 10 fold & it was easier for you ...i'll leave that to your interpretation  ;)   :-X   lucky Marls didn't do it, we'd still be there ;D...fred
