Putty Road

[wilch]

Well, I decided to go for an early morning dawn run down the Putty Road and take a few shots. This was extremely early in the morning though, hence the non-invite to others.

Traffic was non existant except for a few semi's which were going unbelievably fast for their size...but they were still holding me up.

stupid bugs.... "Hey look there's a car bearing down the road, lets jump in front!"

Left early in the morning, when most sane ppl were asleep. Damn it was cold!!

Still managed to get my water temp up to 100degrees (and that's with a vented bonnet!).

Cheers pie ,

Ohhh, forgot to mention. I was nearly taken out by a semi trailer on the way back. It was coming around a corner on my side of the road...I had to veer off onto the dirt to avoid it.

Looking at that first pic I thought u turned ur line into a taxi..

As that sign "halfway roadhouse" looks like those taxi things they have on the top of their cars..

how long does the drive usually take to complete the whole way? how many km is it and are the roads really smooth?

altogether from windsor if you go all the way to singelton its approx 170km, if you go from windsor to the end of the good bits its about 150km.

round trip from the city all up about 350km, at night it takes around 4-5 hours including stopping for petrol stuffing around etc. also keep in mind there is no petrol station open late at night at singleton so u have to fill up at windsor at the latest or you risk running out on the way home

the roads for the first 2/3 are good with some average sections, the end 1/3 has a lot of new surfaces so is very good. fair few wombats and kangaroos around too.

there is a freaky looking monastery half way with blue lit up crosses..

3/4 hrs? damnn thats quite a drive.. hahaha

Roads are smooth too. I've got Tein's and don't bounce into ABS hell on this road.
