Sydney to Tamworth via Putty Road
Today marked the departure of both Tim and I from Sydney, starting the combined part of our journey. At around 10.45, we left from Tim and Lauren's apartment, fuelled up, and hit the road.
The exit from Sydney got quite tedious, with plenty of toll roads, lights that would catch me and not Tim, and yet more roadworks. Once we got to Putty Road, the journey certainly improved.
We stopped for lunch at a cafe on Putty Road, which is apparently a hot spot for motorcyclists. When we arrived, there were probably around 10 or so bikes, including a 79? model Honda CB X 6 cylinder bike that Tim had his eye on. Much to my amusement, most of the bikes were BMWs, including mine, an R1150RT, K1200LT, K100, and an S1000RR.
After an absolutely delicious lunch, we continued on our way toward Tamworth, coming across some absolutely spectacular sections of Tarmac along the way. Unfortunately, time was getting away so we ended up arriving at the campsite in the dark.
We set up camp by torchlight, and Tim finished off his complimentary XXXX stubby that he scored from the site owner, then we had dinner. Afterwards, we had a game of 8 ball on the table on site, then prepared to call it a night.
