On the road, several hours later than intended, Picton here we come.

Beeyootiful day yesterday, after a week of horrible winds, about 23 deg out there today (Mon) and very pleasant.

Unfortunately, forecast is ratshit for Friday, about 8 degrees...?

Hoping this is a normal forecasting cock-up and things will be ok for the weekend...

Long range forecasts are generally crap. pays to look at the weather maps and satellite pics yourself

Not any of the first, the second holds a little weight.

Yep it is definately sealed. Been through there many a time. Definately more interesting than taking the coast.
