A Sporting Weekend

This has been a good sporting weekend for us.  

On Friday morning we took the kayaks to Wivenhoe and had a very pleasant five-kilometre paddle.  We saw lots of pelicans and cormorants resting on the banks.


On Sunday we got an early start and rode to Lowood on the rail trial.  It was a fairly uneventful ride apart from a magpie attack just south of the Mahons Road Bridge, both directions.  We got to Lowood just after 7:15 am and had a pleasant breakfast of pancakes and coffee; Jenny showed great restraint and bypassed the cream and ice-cream.


We then returned to Honeydale, stopping to chat to the only others persons we saw on the rail trail.  They were walking from Coominya to Esk as training for the Camino del Santiago.  We chatted about the Camino as they had walked several versions of the Camino and we have also walked or ridden several different versions as well.   We continued on to Honeydale after making sure they had plenty of water.
