Sunday 1st May

Silverfox and Bugs met at mine and we rode over to Phatboys old place to meet up with Dozer. The 4 of us then took off down around the river, down Swanns Rd, Draper St, Heywood Tce, Fitzgerald, Bealey, Barbodoes, Francis Ave, Philpotts Rd then onto the cycleway along the motorway before turning down the cyclway towards Styx Mill. Finally after 20 kms we got to the planting site on Husseys Rd. We were met by Phatboy and his darling debbie. Helped plant about 1500 plants before I got stung, not once but 3 times by wasps. We then had a bbq before setting off for a cruise through the reserve which was pleasant. At Styx Mill rd Phatboy and his Darling split for some shopping while the Big Four headed back along the cycleway all the way to Monavale. Silverfox split here while the solid Three went thru hagley park, down Armagh, thru Cramner, Montreal then Salisbury, Barbodoes, Kilmore, Avonside Dr with Bugs and I nheading down Stanmore onto Nursery. Finally I went up Wilsons onto Opawa while Bugs split down Ferry. About a 40 kn round trip with the planting in the middle. Good headache and pain from the stings.
