Day 4 (98)

Sunny and blue skies with high 30☀️

🚴🏻 24.5km bike ride
🏃🏼 14km trail run

👍🏻 Finding vert again, there’s been little elevation in recent trail runs ⛰️🏃🏼
👎🏻 All this bike riding is great for the legs, but not so great for the derrière 🍑

More exploring today…..
First we jumped on our bikes and the High Country Rail Trail ⛰️ 🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻, which has a gate from the Showgrounds, and rode from Tallangatta to Huon, crossing the Sandy Creek Bridge, out and back (24.5km). The 600m bridge would normally cross the lake when full and is sat on the original rail pylons from the bridge that services the Cudgewa branch line, which was closed in 1981
As an added bonus there was a wild apple tree overhanging the trail offered its wares to those passing by 🍏🍎

Later, following advice from locals, the Seagull took to the trails. Heading for Mount Tallangatta ⛰️ - 560m elevation, 7km straight up and 7 km down.
It was a killer, not for the faint hearted, some serious climbing which felt like 5600m - not helped by 30 degrees full sun ☀️

Dinner tonight was veggie pasta 🍝, a concoction made from all the ‘stuff’ that needed to be eaten - left overs and things needing to go before we cross the border into NSW. The aromas coming from camp SOTR were awesome, if only smell-o-vision was a thing, tasted just as good 😋

Then we relocated to sit and watch the sun set over the hills with a glass of yesterdays bubbles 🥂- it’s definitely leftovers day today 😜

And got to play with the sprinklers 💦Read more
