One meter at a time!

Post by Dave_H » June 22nd, 2010, 8:32 am

Hi All, and congrats all round for the multitude of achievements!!
Just checking in - quick update on the shoulder... surgeon ordered me to a different physio before he would cut, and lo & behold I am actually feeling a difference (slow improvement is fine by me!). :D
The meters I am posting are usually a conglomerate of smaller sessions, and done with a pretty awkward technique (very little arm action, elbows tight to the body... :oops: ) however it lets me chug through some meters without any pain. Happy to be back in the saddle, and look forward to building some fitness again!
Oh, and welcome to Kiwi Dave... always happy to have another down-under team-member, plus we are all cheering for your football team in South Africa now! :mrgreen:

Cheers,
Dave

Outback Queensland & Gulf Savannah

Post by BAZzy » June 23rd, 2010, 7:01 am

Howdy Luna-tics…

I have a Spot Tracking Device in ‘The Landy’ and if you are interested it enables you to follow our progress through Outback Queensland and the Gulf Savannah. The Landy is packed, and we head off Saturday morning…

Following is a link to my membership profile (The Landy) on a great website dedicated to four-wheel drive travel in Australia called ExplorOz. On my profile page is a Live Tracking map that will detail our progress in real time.

http://www.exploroz.com/Members/33714/MyProfile.aspx

Additionally, there is a blog tag which has some of the stories I have written on previous travels, including the Newcastle walk I did late last year. I intend to write a blog providing updates on our trip; this will be under ‘The Landy – On Tour in Outback Queensland & the Gulf Savannah’.

Take care, row strong and see you late July……

Baz (Big Bad) :P

Looking good Captain! I was wondering who the new Luna-Tic was from a glance at the unfamiliar photo, until I realized it was you. You look great!
