Headed off on Thursday to meet some friends down at Bald Rock for the weekend.
Left about 5PM and headed to Paddy's flat in the rain and pulled up there for the night.

Just up the road a bit is the tank traps. They have installed several new ones close to the road as these had deteriorated so much you couldn't see them.

I rocked up to the Bald Rock Campground and picked a spot near Kemsley with Jeff arriving a short time later.

Got to try out my new Webber nonstick Frypan ... works perfect, with the removable handle removed it fits inside the windguard.
