To the Gaff Topsails ...... with a little help from my friends.

[TREE]

I got home a few days ago from the best bike trip I've had to the Rock since I started coming over on two wheels in 1973 .
( that one was two up on a Suzuki 500 to Trout River when it was still a dirt road in from Deer Lake. )

The railbed trip has been on my wish list for a long time, and was only made possible by the huge generosity of Dave Noel in Gander who loaned me his KLR ....... thank you Dave !

He did have my beemer as a deposit so a profit was possible ........
Dave gave me his KLR for 3 days to cross that wonderful terrible place called the Gaff Topsails. ( I'm using a local term here that I loved when I first heard it ).
Well the trip was blessed with amazing weather and not without a few moments of excitement either. This won't be a long detailed account, kind of a work in progress.

Here is a rough map of parts of my route for the 10 days I was on the Rock.
