After a small delay we did the sums and worked out we could still squeeze in the trip to Northcliffe. We were home from Perth in Busselton Saturday afternoon and hit the road Sunday morning via the corner store for some supplies.
What cycle tourist can 'not' stop at a bakery?
Unlike our cycle trip to date the clouds were out and it was a cool not quite crisp morning - perfect cycling weather. As for the ride we headed out towards Nannup, turning onto Sues Rd and just kept pedalling - a few undulations, jarrah forests and pine plantations. We stopped at Sue's Bridge, a lovely bush camp along the Blackwood River, for a spot of lunch. After consulting the map, assessing Gary's chaffing and the prospect of a bath in the river we decided to pitch the tent and stay the night. We didnt realise when we left how remote this leg is so luckily we have a water filter and purification tablets as we had to get water from a dodgy tank.
