Can I apologise for the Hobart weather, it really is quite bad at the moment. Much the same again for tomorrow, and that wind is shocking!!!

It's typical Hobart but it's a real shame because March is usually pretty mild. I feel really sorry for anyone out there riding in it!!! It looks like it might be fine for the 99 bends on Saturday but then again it rains like 300 days a year up that way so who knows.

Was told today by a council worker in Bothwell, that we may have trouble getting across to Strahan, due to snow!!! I did tell him that we were not going there until Saturday, but he still looked at me like I was crazy!!!

Gerard, should we be worried???

Hmmm, according to the bureau of meteorology Saturday and Sunday are both fine at Strahan and in the low 20's!! There may be snow overnight I'd say but if you leave later in the morning sunday you should be fine. Might pay to give your accommodation a buzz on Friday and see what they think. I can imagine you seeing some snow but I really doubt there will be road cover!!

So what are the expressions of ye olde Hobart town??

Bothwell hey? Some interesting folk up there! Scary playing footy up there I can tell you!!!

If you don't get a reply to your message Dan I may have given you the wrong number, I am hopeless with them, so I'll send it again if I don't hear from you!! The poor Husky is nervously anticipating a short blast on the road!!

It was shut down 10 years ago otherwise I am quite sure they would of locked them up and they'd be experiencing shock therapy as we speak!!!

Made it to Adelaide - shocking conditions on the road but that's all part of the experience!

Thanks to Dan, Kel, Jamie and Jess for making this a great trip. Loads of memories. Also big hi to Mikey, Dave, Mick, Apollo and Jarrod who joined us along the way for catch ups :thumbup:

Mike and I will pack up the trailer soon and head back to Perth. Taking about 4 days to do this.

Plenty of pics when we get home :D
