Old Coast Road
2 January, 2007
13km | Easy
A quick scan of the local maps revealed a undulating tar/dirt road which winds itself up, down and around the hills high above Coffs amoungst the banana plantations.
I set off shortly after dawn and was soon climbing the hills and running away from the odd snake sunning itself on the road. Can't say I'm a fan of the slithering types.
Once up the top of the hill the road winds itself down through the nanas and tall red gums into gullies and then up to high ridges. It was a tough run but very rewarding views over the coastline with the only company being the odd cow providing the mandatory dickhead look, that they all seem to have down to a fine art.
The hills were a real test for the archilles and I am pleased to say that it passed the test with flying colours.
Happy chappy !
