Spring XC

St George, Queensland, 8 thru 16 October, 2022

Tough 12 months, perhaps more to come but tis good to plan for the future

We will be in St George, Qld from the 8 thru 16 October, with the winches. St George has been picked out because of the prevailing north easterlies and the road to Hebel and Lightning Ridge. Perhaps not the easiest place to get to, but you will have fun planning your way there

We want to do XC and the thermals should be good
