Expedition

Don't you be touching my lambs!!!


The first attempt. Fi and Kieran headed out to find the hash point. The map placed it just off a road in a pine plantation.


Eventually we realised we'd taken a wrong turn. Unfortunately there was no where to turn around safely, so we kept driving. After a 35km round trip we ended up were we started.

Fi didn't want to go again, so realising that Acajou's farm was nearby we went for coffee and a chat. Acajou introduced us to some newborn lambs:



As it happened Acajou was up for a fresh attempt at the Hash point, so back up the hill Acajou and Kieran went. Going in the right direction this time, we were eventually forced to walk.
