In the lap of the gods

You can’t have adventure without adversity, the clue is in the first four letters. When the weather man said that two thirds of Australia was being rained on, and would be like that for days I thought that our ride would be cancelled for the second time. Not likely! We are all made of sterner stuff than that, and possibly sillier stuff as well.

Leaving the NSW south coast town of Batemans Bay late on a Friday afternoon we had continual rain that sometimes backed off to a drizzle but never completely stopped. As we followed the Kings Highway towards Braidwood we encountered thick fog on the climb up Clyde Mountain. Did I mention it was cold? It was that too.

We turned off the tar at Northangera Road to hit what is usually good dirt, but it was made slippery by the downpour. There are a few causeways to cross along here and I was anticipating wet feet but surprisingly the water levels were all low.
