It was another perfect morning at the “Hideaway”, but again once I climbed up the hill, down came the rain which persisted till about 2:30 pm.
Testing today was at Kersbrook. Both the Evans brothers were testing there as well as the Raymonds and Dowell. Totally Wild joined us for the day to get a feel for rally and they certainly did today with rain, cold and mud. It will be interesting to see the program in a couple of weeks.
I spent most of the afternoon doing Operations stuff including placing water barriers on locations in the Mawsons Row Stage and Mt Crawford Stage, placing Hessian on a fence in Mawsons Row to stop rocks being thrown into someones yard – all of this in rain, rain, rain.
Checked out with the Forestry boys one of the creek crossings in Mt Crawford stage that should prove interesting if we get more rain. They have placed 37 tonnes of rubble in it to try and raise the road but there is still 100mm of water going over it. I wouldn’t want to stray too far off centre as it is up to a metre deep in places.
The evening was spent with the Linke brothers moving the oval lights at Angaston Oval. It was going all too well and looked like we would get out of there at 7:00 pm but a wire broke in one of the lights so that added 1.5 hours to the night.
Got back to the “Hideaway” at around 9:15 pm
Still managed to grab a couple of caches while waiting for it to get dark.
