Follow Scott's Progress
5am Start
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2008
My journey began at 5am today. That is when I woke up to start getting organised for the trip ahead. At 8.10am we left Adelaide after taking photos of the canoe team at Wiggley Reserve Glenelg. A great road crew of Paul and Andre allowed Evan (my 1st support paddler) and I to rest on the 13 hour trip to our destination. We stopped in Albury to have a great meal before booking into the cabins at Lake Hume for what I thought would be my last night in a bed for 6 weeks.
After 12 months of planning and training, the magniture of this event hit home as we travelled for so long in the car on the way up! The journey now seems very surreal!
Albury is a beautiful town, I must go back for a holiday one day!
