In the Otway National Park between Torquay and Anglesea.
And so I did .
Go with her.
It was a VERY early Startwith a Very rocky ferry trip
And it was. ππ
Fun that is
Who? Me?The Yeeha Cowgals
There was great weather, most of the time.
Always an interesting beginning – meeting our ‘transport’. So much trust involved from both partners in this ‘gig’ and not much time to develop it.Before you know it, you are up and waiting, me on Misty this time – and Yes, you guessed it – a flea bitten grey – must have something to do with someone’s age I am beginning to think!!!!!!
There was also rain,wind and cold some of the time. π
Rain, wind and cold arrived on our way home – no one was in any mood to take photos and this one doesn’t really show how wet and miserable we both were!!!! Trust me…..
There was laughter, most of the time. π.
Not Actually squashed against the tree!Besties now and foreverSmiles before the rainstill smiling…. and hanging on!!
There was also a grumble or too some of the time. π.
There were great views, all of the timeπ
Views…whichever …….way we ……lookedThe OtwayNational Park
And a welcome stop for a pub lunchπ
Well, I don’t know about the Camel, but I do know there was a thirsty Horse and an even more thirsty Rider!Well, there Really was food as well, but cowgals like their horses had to have a drink!!!!Well after all …..we had eaten…..so it was only fair…..we (seriously) let them eat too!
There was a horse stuck in water, for some of the time.
And a great sense of relief when she finally stood up again π
A planned human pit stop….. and an anxious wait for a horse swim stop to stopGreat relief when both were confirmed safe. And we could continue.
There were canters to die for and some who thought they would! π
Long lovely stretches to canterBikes one way…..Horses the other way…..as we ambled in to Anglesea ( Pete what did you do with Jacqui? I hope she is at the end of that rein!)
There was exhilaration and exhaustion.
For some it was hard to tell which was which !
There was tooth ache; bum ache, leg ache and βunmentionableβ ache. π
There were hot showers, Uber eats and βThirsty Camelβ to lift our spirits
so that we could drop our bodies into warm beds. π
There were crack of dawn starts and lazy long lie ins. π΄
There were beach walks, energetic runs, coffees and breakfast. π
Salty Dog early morningah, such a treatand such beauty aswe used two legs instead of four!!
There were ferry and car rides and hugs goodbye.π
There were new friends made, old histories shared, bold futures imagined and
joint memories made. π
And just like that the Yeeah cowgals weekend was over.
And we went back to our different worlds.
Thanks to a group of Yeeha Cowgirls
who despite a 40 year age difference made me feel young again !!! π
