Turkey Beach Trial - Day 1

Saturday 6th August

Another camping weekend trial.... always the good way to spend a weekend.... no communications - no internet... just dirt - fire & a freezing night in the caravan.... this weekend was slightly different - this time - Jade was off on her motorbike from the time we unloaded at about midday on Saturday - til we packed it  back into the van on Sunday arvo....   (except for sleeping and toilet runs - she was on the bike)....

Mom and Dad had checked out a junior pony express trail and said that Jade would probably enjoy that... so as soon as we got all our gear on - Jade and I went for a ride around it...  she came off a couple of times when she was going around corners that had been dug out by bikes and she got stuck in the rut and thrown off.. but not at any real speed - so she wasn't hurt or even upset....  it was great....

Then it started to rain... so we headed back to the caravans and decided to wait it out...  Jade wasn't overly impressed with this...  "c'mon Daddy... lets go!!!"  - - - - "But, but, but.... it's raining!"  "so????" ....   she wouldn't even get off her bike to do her crosswords while she waited....



Busy doing her crosswords...


Coming through the bush with Rob close behind...



Father Daughter Duo...


The sand did sink her a couple of times -but she kept her cool and kept going...


The motorcycling family...


Wouldn't even get off her bike for the fire.... 


Blake spent a fair amount of time on his bmx....  my guess is that he'll be just as bad when he gets his bike... we'll never see either of them!
