"No Rain Campout"part 1, report: We all meet up on the York rd 8am, sat as arranged. Pounce Rob and myself stopped for one last "latte" at the Mundaring Dome before getting our feral on. 10 of us in total: Todd, Lethal, Jacko, Hooters, WR Rob, Pounce, Darin, Mickal, Tommy and CRF Andrew was very nearly 9 but it's all right Tommy I waited for ya mate...! The camp spot was just a little further on than the usual- just to check out the 4X4 abilities of my ute. No stuffing around booted an outta there bout 9am, Pounce leading Tommy sweeping. Great trails but the dust demon is out and about, so be warned the season is coming to a close for all of the fair (wet!) weather riders. A few moments for most of us in the dry pea gravel, a few offs, and a bit of repair work on Tommy's WR as the gear lever got reshaped. Some un named rider roosted Rob in the face when he was having a lay down- outstanding! extra point there for treachery!pounce lead us into some damper areas. I gave Tommy a crook line thru a bog, which resulted in one very wet tommy and a dead WR, no probs, 1/2 hr later we were on the go again. Bike de watering, class 101. By this stage we were on route to the cars and Pounce took us thru a boggy section which claimed a few victims,Mickal got turned into a "bog monster" by Lethal- gold! Chunks of mud covering him head to toe- very nice work Lethal, extra credit for sure! Umm and the lead rider had a wee moment, spat the chewie and walked back to the cars cause his bloody bike wouldn't start- with the kill switch in!!.......minus one I reckon!! So the mighty few were a bit bruised and busted, Tommy's bike needed about 3 oil changes for the oil to look slightly like oil, and no amount of oil could fix Jacko and Pounce, they were done for the day. A few drinks a couple of snakes and the rest of us were ready for the arvo run, Part 2

"No Rain Campout" part 2: So off we went, Tommy leading and I think Andrew sweeping. Great trails but a fair amount of dust and the pea gravel was doing its thing. In certain sections you couldn't believe how dusty it was, as we were here only 3 weeks ago and it was "wet as, bro!" But Tommy lead us on a great variety of tracks and we were back at the cars bout 4pm. A few of the boys forgot their slippers and had to bail, the rest of us got changed and grabbed some wood for the usual massive fire pit, beers laughs lies and plenty of tucker- great stuff. Rob and I miss calculated and ended up mooching a few drinks, cheers boys! Very cold night and Darin failed to adhere to the 2 sleeping bag rule and froze. A light frost Sunday morning sucked the life outta all but 2 brave warriors, Tommy and myself. But 2 isn't enough so we bailed too. Leisurely camp fire breaky then home james. Great weekend cheers Pounce and everyone.

ps the weather gods can eat a dick, the sunday night rain was 2 days too late :(
