Matty K's Expedition
Here's the Google map of where we got to (A) and where we were going (B).
After a very long, slightly random drive up north, out west, over dirt roads and up the sides of mountains, we reached a crossroads I didn't recognise. The girls were bored and hungry, I was watching the clock run down, and we'd already used a quarter of a tank of fuel, so we called it an "aventure" and turned around.
Several photos were snapped on the return down Mt Fox. Highlights may be posted here some time.
