The BreakFast Club's rather wet drive

In the ongoing series of BreakFast Club Saturday runs it started off quite miserable weather wise.

Four members and four potenital memebers in eight cars managed to crawl out of bed and meet up at the Hornsby end of Galston Gorge in the poring rain.

As we all know, you won't get wet while you are moving. We tried to keep up that pace all morning but on the downhill section into Wisemans Ferry the weather god gave way and it was bucketing down! We had a quick stop to dry ourselves and raise the canvas just before the ferry crossing at Wisemans.

On the boat, I could hear stomachs rumbling, and to our disappointment we found that the Wombat Cafe was closed for renovations. Looking though my phone history, I discovered that I had booked a table at the Wombat Cafe in Victoria instead of NSW ... my bad.

We jumped back in the cars and drove towards Spencer. Luckily we found a place to park the cars by the water and order ourselves a Big Brekky (and I mean BIG).

The stomachs were satisfied 30 mins later, and after a good chat we jumped back in the roadsters and headed toward Mangrove Mountain. Along the way we picked up two more members on their way back to Sydney, and headed to Pie in the Sky for a refresher. It was an omen, we parked at PITS and out came the blue sky for the leisurely drive home.

Great day and many laughs were had by all!
