Late start to the day as Tom and Sarah had a sleep in and there was a lot of stuff to sort. We then headed off to Lake Lady Bower for MTBing. We first started of on the gentle tracks for family riding. Then saw some fire trailers coming steeply down the hills through the forests. Curious of where these were going, we headed up. Thankfully we were passed by some down hill MTB riders, we were on the right track. After asking some directions of some locals who were a little more prepared, they had a map, we headed off along the ridge. Nice riding although a little steep and rocky in places leaving BJ behind. We spotted a few nice camping spot toward the end of the ride. We then pack the bikes in the car head off for a climb. Lovely area, lots of climbers. Climbed till late, maybe a little too late, had a little trouble finding somewhere to eat and eventually settled upon a little pub which turned out to be great. We had decided to wild camp so headed to the hills. Unfortunately we asked to move on from our spot after a short while (we were in bed but also in the wrong). Tom did fight a good battled and almost won but we still had to move. We were redirected to a site near the A road, thank god I have ear plugs. There turned out to be quite a few people who had been redirected. Concerned about security of our gear we fitted all the bikes and trailers and the double bed in the van. Bit of a squeeze but it fit, impressive. Unsettled night as people stopped and went all night.
