Highlight:

Hosted by lovely to trail angels. The simple things   are appreciated: clean water, toliet, power to charge phone. But the trail provides so much more: shower, bed, conversation & kia.

Challenge:

Road and more road! My feet where not a fan of the compacy surface. Soft trail and grassy verge where limited today. I did find $2.10 on the road I termed Money Road (Hillview Road). This luck diverted my attention to anything shinny that lay ahead.

Learning:

I made a bad decision, continuing over the closed track sign.
Without knowing of the closure before hand, the alternative which jumped to mind was the motorway (which was not walk-able.)
Anyway my unethical decision had been spotted from afar and I was informed at the track end of such.
