What a great weekend it's been. 50-year-olds being 20 again. Many memories of this area as a young bloke on both 2 wheels and 4, and great to again be exploring all the disused and forgotten highways that see such little traffic that grass now grows on some of them.
One of the highlights of the weekend would definitely be Wootton Way in Bulahdelah. This used to be the old highway up until the NSW Govt bypassed this mountainous section. It's 21 kilometers of beautifully smooth, 3-lane wide, winding, deserted bitumen that now only services a handful of farms. Say no more.
Enjoyed a really great couple of days with a good bunch of blokes. Really did feel like I was 20 again. Same crazy shit only at the end of the day we're knackered and ready for bed by 9. Could not believe the road conditions. These are the same roads and the same bitumen I traveled more than 30 years ago. All they've done is fill the pot holes.... and there's thousands of them.
