Perfect day for getting a little dirty then! We cruised down the backside of the mountain doing a bit of exploring. Found an old car with a makeshift gravesite next to it and invented a great story.
There's a giant photo in the stairwell of a nearby gorge. We've been dying for a rest day to check it out. It was unbelievably hot when we finally left launch, so the ice cold river was a welcome treat. The car park is right next to the river and a gorgeous meadow that would make for the perfect landing field. It's about an hour hike then into the gorge.
After the hike we treated ourselves to a little spa day at the river's edge. I felt like a kid making mud pies again ;-)

Rafting/canoeing through that gorge can be quite dangerous as the level is controlled unpredictably by a sluice upstream somehwere. Declan has a great near death extreme picnicing story from that place...
Traditionally non-flying days have caused more injury at Ager than the flying days with extreme down hill (inebriated) mountain biking, diving off bridges into "fairly deep" water, and clambering onto rafts with jagged leg tearing edges.
That was before internet wifi and working the cancelled days...
this is perhaps the best picture I've ever seen of my brother in decades!!! I am sure mud does wonders to Carl's fingers!
