Sunday 7th August

Off to Orton Bradley for a planting. Silverfox and I drove over to Lyttleton where we hooked up with Tinkerbell, Dozer, Phatboy and Mellonfarmer. After a nice cruise across to Diamond Harbour we rode around to Orton Bradley arriving early. We then rode and viewed some earlier plantings. Discovered a few areas with plants laid out so 3 lads grabbed some spades and in pairs we planted. After sorting out about 100 we stumbled on another area and got stuck in. The weather then started closing in and jackets went on as the southerly came through. Another team of planters arriverd just in time to finish the planting. We then took advantage of a tale wind back to the Harbour. With 20 minutes up our sleeves we rode the cliff track. Ist part was a but dodgy but the 2nd part was a great blast. Caught the ferry back and then home for lunch
