We noticed some mountains in the distance while in Albany, so it was decided that we should investigate. So it was off to the Stirling range, our choice of hill to climb "Bluff Knol", a 1050 M ascent in 3 KM.
It was a beautiful day, the real challenge though was the 60km north west wind, in a few locations it tried to remove us from the mountain. The view was stunning, back to Albany & out across the plains to the north.
If you look closely you can see the truck & crawfish in the carpark. We slept well that night.
On to Esperance, Eucla, Cactus & now Streaky Bay, the skates are well & truly on. We did a 928km day, we would have done more only Annie purchased sugar free toffee's, so we ran out of energy??? This was the clincher for the Coight Trophy, in my view, what is a toffee with no sugar? A wax wrapper with goo in it.
At this stage we both feel like dropping into Melbourne, say Hi to you all, re fuel & continue on out the other side. We are looking for sponsors????
