Long post warning... this post contains over 400 photos!!
Damian was up bright and early... there was a bit more blue in the sky today...
But there was still water on the windscreen... not quite cold enough for it to ice up though!
Testing the lights before breakfast...
OKA... Reg and Di - legends of esCarpade!
And time for the first bacon and egg roll of the week...
And a coffee from the coffee cart!
Breakfast was put on by the Lions Club of Lavington.
Mario with his bonnet up as per usual...
Ben doing the first daily driver briefing of the event... and it's his birthday!! Happy Birthday Ben!!
Time to hit the road... the morning session was Damian driving, Jason navigating... heading towards Narrandera for lunch.
First dirt of esCarpade 2022!
The boys are having a great time!
Bedggoods Road... bed would be good!
Local farmer waving to the boys!
hehe... Gluepot Road! Guess this is where the horses end up?
Causeway... no water in it though.
And then it started to rain...
Stopping at the slightly wet fun stop!
Jason throwing the ball through the hole...
Damian having a crack at it!
Damo and Graeme from Car 88...
Jason showing how it's done with the bat...
Back on the road after the fun stop...
The road did get a little slippery for a while!
A little splash of water...
Well, a token amount at best!
The windscreen squirters decided not to work on the driver's side... handy!
The boys were amused by "Buckingbong Road"...
These white roads kicked up an extortionate amount of dust!
Arriving in Narrandera for lunch...
Quick stop to clean the windscreen and poke the windscreen squirters so they worked properly...
Bit dirty after the morning section!
Johnny in Car 05 was having some power steering issues...
After a delicious lunch, it was time for the afternoon driver's briefing...
And heading out after lunch!
Jason was having a drive, and Damian was navigating...
Public roads means there are sometimes other cars!
And another of about a thousand T intersections!
A picture of concentration in the driver's seat...
And a quick selfie from Damian!
Kicking up a bit of dust!
This is what the route notes look like...
Stopping at the afternoon fun stop...
And joined by 215 - Retro Rock-It's twin!
The memorial in Bethungra had a name the boys recognised...
These were black and red earlier in the day!
Back on the road, and passing old buildings...
Following the bitumen to sunny, downtown Cootamundra to check in with OV2...
After a great first day's driving, the boys reached Cootamundra safe and sound - Retro Rock-It is going well, and other than collecting a bunch of dust, seems to be alright!
Dinner tonight isn't for another little while, so the boys are relaxing and hanging out with other esCarpadians at their hotel...
Stay tuned for the dinner blog!
