Not a promising day for our jolly jaunt to Jamberoo, but a pretty drive, little of the promised rain and a warm lunch finished another great day out.

We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day, unfortunately that was the day before our Manning Magic Run. Grey skies and gently falling rain were our backdrop as we set off from Failford, Forster Bound...

Today’s run was to the Lake George Hotel in Bungendore, a couple of hours away and a distance of about 150 km. The weather was a bit cold at 15 degrees, with a few clouds but no wind. Good enough for a top-down drive.

e arrived at the Bakery just before 10.00am and half of the group were already enjoying cakes and coffee before the 10.30am start. It was cold outside and a chill factor from that breeze was more than a little chilling. It was a very quick briefing in the car park.
