Camp #1 – 2025; WTF happened to 2024?

And just like that I’ve skipped almost all of 2024 and a major chunk of the tail end of 2023. So what happened? Truth be known I just got lazy 🙁 Let’s make up for it in 2025 and I’ll in time backdate history. In my mind the first camp of 2025 was going to…

Day #1; Sydney to Tumut

Camp #10 – 2023; We’ve hit double digits!

Camp #07 – 2023; It’s been a long while

With the notoriety of technology I am guilty of overlooking those once simple things and arrive…

Camp #06 – 2023; Dalys Clearing, Belangelo State Forest

Yes, you read right, Belangelo State Forest the infamous forest you’ve heard about for all the wrong reasons! Truth be known this is a slightly late post, three weeks late to be frank. I’ve been away for work and caught Covid. Anyway, Dalys Clearing was a camp site that I wanted to tick off the…
