AROUND THE TRACK @ BATHURST

3rd August 2015

We headed North,…. North to Bathurst, surely it would be warmer than Cooma?
WRONG! Our first day here and last night it got down to minus 1 degree, even worse, the thermometer did not get any higher than 9 degrees today, much colder than Cooma!

We found the best way to keep warm was to take the advice of the local Tourist Information Centre and forget the walking tours. We chose to follow several self drive guided tours and found our way to Chifly Dam….even the pelicans and cormorants weren’t game to dip into the grey, chilly looking waters!  A quick look at the structure of the dam and then Paul suggested a hot lap would be more suitable 

We did what every self respecting  V8 petrol head would do!!!
A fast lap at Mount Panorama !  We left “The Beast” securely in the paddock and took Collie for a run around the circuit! 

I suppose you could have called it more of a trot. No speeding here…we had to come down Conrod straight at 60Kms an hour! 



Paul said not to mention that the speedo did get up to about 80 at one stage !!!
