I have been a bit slack of late so thought I better catch up with our news and travels.
Last weekend we decided that if we didn't get a way soon we would be stuck without a trial before our big trip. With the weather on the beautiful north coast presenting us with three weeks straight of wet and windy, stormy and ugly weather we decided that a quick run is better than no run at all. So we headed down to Lake Ainsworth at Lennox Head - not far from home but far enough to give us an idea of how everything works and check out our setup and packup skills.
The weather had a rest and we had a fun afternoon setting up, Kate even came down for lunch with us. A long walk along the lake edge at dusk was lovely with many families taking advantage of the break in the weather.
After our walk we settled in for the evening with some cheeese and wine followed by a barbq all sitting outside the van and eaten overlooking the lake.
Then as if Huey knew we had finished eating the heavens opened, we rushed inside and battened down the hatches - lots of thunder, lightning and torrential rain. A bit of a riot but between the TV and the kindle we kept amused and had an enjoyable evening after all. I slept like a log and poor Ross spent the night waiting for us to leak or blow away. Needless to say even though it cleared on Monday we dried out a bit, packed up and headed home.
A good trial run - 4 seasons in one day.
