Default Rewarded with fantastic scenery after the crash

No pain no gain they say.

Just after Darren crashed we found ourselves riding through this fantastic gorge.

Default A gorge then a brilliant cliff top view

After following the valley floor for about half and hour, we were greeted by a short sharp hill climb and rewarded with a spectacular view.

Default A tricky creek crossing for some

Darren950, Pete and Ian took the bridge and Russ and I did what all good (nutty) adventurers do, took the creek bed.
