After morning coffee at Macca's Castle Plaza, 18 cars departed for a cruise down to Clayton Bay for a BBQ lunch. My idea was "no U turns" as with this amount of cars that would be a bit awkward. But that was not to be. After giving directions we headed off down South Rd & regrouped at Flagstaff Hill before cruising down through Clarendon, Kangarilla, Meadows, and Strathalbyn. Now about that U-turn:- yep, at the Paris Creek turn off some of us went left & you guessed it, some went right. So hence only some of the cruisers had to do the U-turn, but they eventually caught up with us at Rusticana Winery (or Newman's Horseradish farm). Here we sampled wines, horseradish & olive oils.

After this & having the whole group back together, we went down through Milang & on to Clayton bay to the Boat Club, where Dave Thomas was waiting for us to park the cars on the lawn on the edge of the lake.

The BBQ was fired up, the meat cooked, salads prepped & the bar opened. For sweets we had Hot X Buns warmed on the BBQ. The rest of the afternoon was spent soaking up the beautiful weather on the edge of Lake Alexandrina.

This was a great opportunity to catch up with the newer members taking their 1st run. Hopefully they will continue to join us & just maybe:- one day we'll have a run with no U-turns. Who knows?

Lyn & I thank all of you who came & made the day the success it was. We also make a special thanks to Dave Thomas who offered the boat club facilities for us to enjoy.

Till next time:- KEEP CRUISIN
