One thing that has me baffled, I've been running once or twice a day, going to the gym twice a day and not eating shit but I've managed to put on nearly 2kgs? Now I'm not sure on how to structure my fitness regimè.

Re: Things that you rate!
Bloody hope so, the arms feel fuller and the gut feels flatter so I don't think I'll bother weighing in, last time round I just ran, did shitloads of ab crunches and 2km of rowing every visit and I shed heaps of kilo's rapidly, I've been doing a lot of weights this time round so hopefully that is it.MW wrote:Might be putting on muscle mate, don't worry about the numbers, as long as you are happy with your results.Lightning McQueen wrote:Alcohol free weekend, day 13 off the piss now and I feel brilliant.

The people that own it live next door and it's a pretty exclusive little stretch where there's only about 12 or so houses, it's very quiet and not the place you'd got with mates or a group to hit the suds and load up on tunes at night. There's 1 queen bed and a room with 2 bunks, so it's for a family or a couple to enjoy and it's a great spot to just do nothing. Given the load Mrs Boon is carrying at work with COVID / SA Health / Education Department regulations she needed a weekend of not much, this was the perfect spot.
I'd recommend it for just the two of you to go to, access isn't easy, it's down a private dirt road that is ok, but not for anything that rides low to the ground and the place is 10k's from Murray Bridge and 30k's from Mannum, so take what you need for a couple of nights and don't leave would be my suggestion.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.

For some reason the river water just doesn't have the same appeal to me, I'm a massive fan of the Yorkes and I wish I had of explored more of it when I was in a relationship, we did hit a few towns up with Vincent being my absolute favourite.Booney wrote:Good little spot we found at late notice.Booney wrote:Two nights up on the river, heading up this afternoon.

Seeing people post photo's of Turton and the other surrounding places like the pods that I think you went to makes me wanna uproot for the weekend and go get some fresh sea air.

Re: Things that you rate!
For sure, I'd rather be swimming at Turton or Marion Bay, but there's nothing like waking up on the river when it's peaceful. I love the sound of waves rolling in but absolute silence bar some bird life on the river is gold. We looked at Yorkes at late notice so finding somewhere that wasn't 5 beds and sleeps 10 was hard work, all the smaller places seemed to be full and with it being a wedding anniversary we didn't want to be in a cabin in a caravan park.Lightning McQueen wrote:For some reason the river water just doesn't have the same appeal to me, I'm a massive fan of the Yorkes and I wish I had of explored more of it when I was in a relationship, we did hit a few towns up with Vincent being my absolute favourite.Booney wrote:Good little spot we found at late notice.Booney wrote:Two nights up on the river, heading up this afternoon.

I had a swim, but very much dipped in slowly, paddled to be off the bottom and back to the landing, do that a few times and the core temperature drops enough to cool down.

Recently voted 4th best beach in Australia.
I’ve been to many beaches and this would be my favourite.
No shops, no houses, Nothing nearby
Just Clear waters and clean sand.
