Jingellic

Anyone going to Jingellic this weekend for the non official "gathering"?

 

What's not happening there ?

Actually, the bike does need to get out for a run, and there are far worse
places to ride, so I might have a think about going. Anyone else interested
in going from Melbourne ?

Just happens that the BMWMCCVic are riding to Jingellic, leaving there bikes
there on Saturday and canoeing to Tintaldra for the night. Spare parts
anyone?

That's odd. I've done that canoe trip myself, but I always prefer to
start upstream and paddle down, so we started at the next bridge up from
Tintaldra ans paddled down to Jingellic.
Nice stretch of river. Can get nasty.

Its a three day trip Henning told me, They are being taken to towong and
paddling downstream Moike, finishing in Jingellic on Mon I think is there
plan. If I didnt have to be at work Monday, I might be there.

It's a nice run. When we did it a few years back we took two days,
camped by the river. If the river is up, it can be a hair-raising run
in parts. Some of the long sweeping bends look fine, until you realise
that most of the water is going under low trees. =8-O

I assume they are doing it with an adventure tours company. I can't
imagine getting all the gear[1] I'd need for that trip onto a bike.

And strapping the canoe on the rack can be a bitch...

Only if you lane split.

*Whimpers at memory of Murray River canoe trip with Al Pennykid*

I can hear the banjos in your whimper, Pat

 

If we'd been "Deliveranced",at least we'd have been warm and
dry...(instead've spending half the trip *beneath* the icy waters of the
Upper Murray,and the rest in a cold wet sleeping bag in a torrential
storm--not that I'm bitter or anything...)

I'll try and get there. I'll be in Beechworth later that day.

Hammo

 

You didn't have at least a sleeping bag and a change of clothes in a
waterproof barrel?

Erk!

Moike

 

The sleeping bag wasn't wet until it came out of the barrel..(it dried
nicely at the Tintaldra pub the next night though)

I rained a bit that night Moike, same time of year actually. No tent.

Al

 

Only the rain was intense that night.
