The meeting point for this one was unknown to me and also Google Maps. I checked with Steve the organiser and am told "its just across from the Novotel North Beach". Of course its to the east of the hotel and when I pass to the south, there is no left turn. Keep riding in the wrong direction and finally an opportunity to make a U turn presents itself.
An unexpected photo op via the Supercam M2 video camera I am testing with a handlebar mount.
Enjoy the pic as I will not be loading the video. The search for mounting places continues.

'Skip' the other guide is already there and we worked out where we are going, as it rained the night before and the National Park is not somewhere either of us wants to go through though it is on the tour description.
Some boys on a 'Buck's Day' I assume, came up with the groom to be, at least I think he was as he was wearing an ill fitting dress and little else. He inquires about a ride. 'Not in that outfit sunshine but you can take a few photos of you on 'Show Pony''. His mates produce movie cameras, smart phones and the impromptu photo shoot starts. Sorry I was not quick enough with my camera.
Robert and Angela, our passengers appear from nowhere and the boys have almost finished.
Angela hasn't been on a motorcycle for 30 years. She discovers, they haven't changed.
'Skip' gives the 'dos and don'ts talk'.
All aboard and away we go. First stop, Bald Hill.

We thought the hang gliders might not be out due to the weather but we got that one wrong so here are a few pics. Camera was ready this time.

Next stop as we aren't doing the Park and we are not in a rush,
Sublime Point Cafe. Its reopened and the new management are trying hard
to get it up and running.
Great location which out will
find in the map and the coffee is very good. No time to eat but what
went to the other tables will have me coming back.
