Mt Fields Campground

I am still in Mt Fields and will be here until Thursday morning. Last night I froze the temp dropped down to zero degrees and I had every piece of clothes in my back pack on and I was still cold, after what seemed an eternity I managed to get warm, only just mind you. I had intended on going bush walking however due to the excessive cold I decide to head back into town to source a warmer sleeping bag and a woollen jumper.

I thought that the sleeping bag would be expensive however I managed to get one that is rated to -minus five degrees for 59 dollars and that coupled with a warm jumper should give me a more restful night.

Tomorrow for the third attempt I intend riding out to Strahgordon and lake Pedder which is rated in the Motor Cycle Atlas as an excellent bike road and supposedly it has some great scenery.

I will report back then If I can get my power supply to work again, Dad rang Acer for me and they will send one for free as the PC is still under warranty. However that will take up to seven days and then dad will forward it to may I will be back on the mainland on the 10th of April.

It was still very cold this morning when I set of to New Norfolk and even the Spyder stalled when I tried to rush off before warming her up properly, I checked the ambient temperature and it was 6 degrees at 9AM.
