It's Day 3 and Sean & I leave the relative comfort of our camp-sites at Glen Innes, en-route to a wilder camping experience at Warrabah National Park.
I have devised a cunning plan to take in as many dirt roads as possible on the way, all new territory.
I had envisaged the first half of the ride to be the less memorable part of the day, but this road was simply amazing!
One of the many, great, dirt routes between the new England Highway and Fossickers Way - I mean to ride them all!!
