Sorry, haven’t been posting a lot over the past couple of months. BUT, that is all about to change.
We haven’t really done a lot lately … as we are trying to conserve our finances for our 13 week Grand Tour of Europe which is due to start in just over a MONTH!!!
I will post a blog about our plans and preparations soon.
I am also hoping to do a LOT of posting during the trip.
I thought this would be a great way to record the journey for us and of course anyone's that interested can follow along.
Hopefully this will also save me putting together an album when I get home as I can do it on the go!….
Okay – I might be being optimistic! I bet that no blogging gets done on the days I'm tired, or have hit my ‘travellers wall’ or I'm in a place of pain because we’ve walked 10km!
Anyway, today we had an outing with the Car Club.
The club had a short run around the outskirts of Armidale, in the freezing cold, and then returned to the driver training centre for a BBQ and a time trial.
The drivers had to estimate the time it would take them to do the following….
- Do a lap of the track
- Stop and get out of the car to check their tail lights and the number plate light.
- Get back in the car and do another lap of the track but in the opposite direction.
- Stop and check the tyre pressure.
- Another lap of the track
- and finally reverse the vehicle into a ‘garage’ (lines of witches hats)
(time was 5:33 minutes)
But we did come second in the quiz – with only 17 correct answers out of 30, evidently nearly everyone else was much worse!
Until next time,
Kim
