A bit of a ride

[Cormanus]

Day2: Dorrigo-Denman (continued)

A mountain to the west of Gloucester.


A couple of Harleys in more of a hurry than me.

After Dungog, the weather cleared and the sun came out. I was saddle sore and my knees hurt. I couldn't work out why until it occurred to me that the bigger load was pushing me right to the front of the seat. There would have to be some load readjustment in the morning!


An underpass between Dungog and Singleton. The quality of the road surface is apparent.




A ridge and one of the great hills between Dungog and Singleton.

After Singleton, it was a main road, past coal mines, flat and not very interesting.

It’s very much like this the whole 68 kms from Singleton to Dungog.

I was happily tired when I got to Denman. It was good to stop; not only was I saddle sore, but it was getting decidedly hot. I found a room in the pub, showered and settled down to a beer. Of course, it immediately got very cold. I went inside for dinner of crumbed lamb cutlets with a creamy mashed potato. Excellent. The house red was average.
