stellar_muddleFestival site prep.
No shifting rocks this time... however I am not the best at shifting dirt from intact and entangled in roots to not in the hole (weak subgirly arm muscles etc etc) so failed to waterproof tent (too much wind) and mud pattycaked the chuffer (much more successful). Hot out though - 35 degrees in Canberra and not much cooler where we were. You tended to wait until a good cloud collection hid the sun for a while and then work frantically.
More success later when had driving practice along Sheldrake Lane (the road outside Crossroads). Very good deserted piece of ex-highway, suitable for trundling along and turning around at the ends of. I made it over 50km/hr and got up to 3rd gear. Definitely better than around a tiny carpark on campus. Back there again tommorrow (for showerbasing and driving practice), and maybe more often just for driving practice.
Visiting and icecream time.
Would be sensible to put on some clothes now.

Date: 2006-02-18 12:47 pm (UTC)The amount of dry grass left around the chuffer is a worry, especially since they appear to be ignoring it in their slashing trips. Perhaps a whipper snipper will be needed next site prep?
