Comment:- Last night I had fish and chips for tea. A nice change to tinned food, etc. Finished my diary when everyone went to bed.

As I said last night I have three options available to me. I was up at 6 am this morning and checked my washing and it was dry after the warm windy night we had. Folded and packed my washing then had breakfast. Weather forecast was for north easterly wind and rather warm day. The wind will be in my favour if I head for Millicent.

I was on the road by 9.30 am and rode about 1.5 km back to the Millicent/ Mount Gambier road. A strong north easterly wind (25 - 30 kt) was blowing. The wind was generally in my favour all the way to Millicent. The road was flat and very pleasant riding.

I stopped for my break about 60 km out about 12.15 pm. The whole area I have ridden through seems to be general farming. Cropping, sheep, cattle and hay conservation. Everything looks so lush and healthy.

I arrived in Millicent about 3.45 pm and rode through town. Stopped at the Info Centre and had a coffee there. The caravan park was just a km down the road. Booked in and set myself up. Down to the supermarket (no McDonalds here) to get something for tea, then back to camp, had a shower then gathered my gear for my diary.

Tomorrow I will head for Mount Gambier and quite possibly onto Dartmoor. Weather dependent. I don’t want to get wet.
