Research, Reunion And Rebirth

This entry is part 11 of 20 in the series Adventure Rider Issue #41

Four wheels locked up and skidded towards the massive blackened tree trunk lying across the road. Another dead end…or was it? Around 20 minutes later, after the HiLux was extracted from a near-terminal bogging, Craig Jackson had a map, a GPS and mobile phone laid out on the bonnet of the ute.

The whole morning, in fact the whole week, had been punctuated regularly with turnaround scenes as I worked my way around the Snowy Mountains region and the fire-affected coastal regions of New South Wales and Victoria. I was plotting the daily routes for the Compass Expeditions Reunion Ride event to take place a week later, and it seemed each time I found an amazing track to share with riders I was stymied by either a road-closed sign, locked gate, fallen tree or massive wash-out. This would inevitably result in lots of cursing, reversing and further study of multiple mapping devices to plan the next move.
