Powerlines Trip

Laz invited everyone out for a run down the powerlines so I grabbed Gerry (and the Jeep with the newly installed OME lift kit) and we headed off.

Things were kind of quiet at the beginning but after lunch it got better...

After wandering around for a while (and visiting the lane of sacrificed teddy bears) we had some lunch and hit the end of the powerline track. Some fun was had...

Once we were finished there we continued along the track and found the usual climb along the fenceline. Everyone who attempted the climb made it up - despite the overnight rain it was dry and relatively easy to climb.

And then onto the usual playground. Again, being quite dry it was pretty easy.
