meander

after yesterday's horrendous climbing, helen wanted to stay in bed and cry but that wasn't the plan. today was another day of rolling hills and some climbing, however, it all seemed easy compared with the extreme gradients of yesterday.

after an awesome week of weather in adelaide it started to cloud over and cool down today. we had first lunch in birdswood and stocked up on some supplies at the local foodland.

we kept going after lunch through farms, forest and pine plantations until we decided to set up camp by the side of the road. we were really feeling the cold and started layering up all our clothes as the temperature dropped to about 10 degrees by 8pm. we were near mount crawford which we later found is one of the coldest spots in south australia!
