I've Got to Remember I'm not Actually IN the Dakar! (21st June)

I think we've all had a great day today, it was an excellent, and mildly challenging ride through Limmen National Park. It's such a diverse place over a few hundred kilometres and well worth it for anyone planning to travel in this area.

We had a good look at the Southern Lost City early in the afternoon. It was amazing with some fairly unique rock formations. We did a 30 minute walk around and left our gear with another New South Welshman who was born just near where we live. It's a stunning spot, however the shine was taken off it for Scott as his leg was a bit sore after it.

I really picked up the pace in the last half of the day and with Australian Safari dreams running through my head I had to get myself in check and slow down after numerous close calls. All part of the fun really!

I was keen to get to Roper Bar that night as there was a hot shower there if we had made it, but Sam and Scott for safety reasons wanted to stop, which was a good idea I realised after I calmed myself down from a great ride.

We camped just near Town River. It's a massive river by Australian standards and there were plenty of old blokes set up for fishing there. A really pretty spot.
