Decided to escape the city and oval ball mayhem so loaded up the truck and headed north for three days of exploring, all the way up ninety mile beach several times... had a good hunt around some of the forestry tracks behind the beach, got my shovel work once or twice. Got horribly lost on some forestry path looking for a suitable campsite and ended up on the east coast (Rarawa Beach, which was a VERY welcome surprise)

All in all a bloody great weekend despite the lack of fish... and the desperate need for a new radiator for the beast... anyone got one?
