I arrived at The Yard around 2:00 (after a diversion between Myrtleford and Nug Nug due to a fatal accident) and a breathalyzer and licence check at the bottom of Woseldine track.  The coppers were out in force!  Set up my camp and toured around saying g'day to those that had already arrived.  

Pete and I decided to try out the mini-bike track, so we headed out up Cobbler, in search of the start point.  We missed it and made our way to the heli-pad, before turning around and finding the entrance and scooting through.  Back at camp, we had a few frothies, and Pat cooked us some pizzas for dinner (thanks Lippus).  Then settled into a few more ales and banter around the camp fire.

Sunday morning we decided to take a gentleman's ride into Wonnangatta, so we saddled up Pete, Seano, Phil, Rob, Doug, Tristan, Dazz, Ted (tristan's girlfriend and another mate) and myself.  The later two struggled a bit while going up Razor Track, so they headed back to camp and the rest of us continued on for an uneventful run into the Station.

A small creek crossing for a bit of fun!

And doing it in style, Seano!

But Seano's style was short lived, as the Berg was stuck with electrical gremlins, and took a while to get sorted.  Once going, the run back to camp was straight forward, with some taking Razor again, while the rest stuck to the road.

After the Wonangatta run, Pat and I decided to take the 'old girls' up to the heli-pad, to take some photos.  recent suspension work saw my 175 skipping along happily, although all was not good with my engine!  We got to the top and took our pics.

On the way back, the PE died!  Just plain stopped.  Did a few trackside diagnosis, but couldn't find anything.  Changed the plug and off she went again, for about 2 k, then stopped......again!  So Pat ran back into camp and drove back out along Cobbler to recover me.  Bummer!  And at this stage, no answers.

Sunday night was much the same as Saturday night, dinner, beers and chats, visiting various other camps around the property.

Monday morning we decided to ride out to Craig's hut, and as it turned out, so did two other groups.  We all left at different times and passed each other along the way before all meeting up at the hut.  We had lunch there and made our way back via the Staircase and Cobbler Lake, then met up with one of the groups who had some fuel issues.  That sorted, it was back to the property for a well earned shower and......you guessed it.......more beers!

The Young at Heart

And......well.... Pete!

Seano showed off his addition to the Abbeyard fridge

A relatively quiet night was had on Monday night, as the assembled masses were starting to think about the pack-up and homeward trip.  I had a great weekend, around 300ks of riding, lots of socializing, eating, drinking, chatting and relaxing.  Thanks to all those who helped make it great event.

Well that was one awesome weekend, as Serge said a few top notch rides out of the property all weekend, this was my first ride out too  Wonangatta station and then following day up to Graig's Hut and Cobbler Lake.
The Kids all had a ball and thanks to all that helped clear the mini bike track it has settled in just right for the little ones

Taking a break:shock:
