Day 66: Moving to Tamworth

Today started off with the odd rain shower, but the timing was good and we didn't get too wet getting everything sorted.

The trip to Tamworth was fairly straightforward, but we didn't realise the extent of the mountain pass and it's twisty turns. This in itself was not an issue, but approximately 100km of ups and downs, twists and turns meant slow speeds and therefore slow time. We left Halliday's Point at 9.20am and got into Tamworth at 3pm. Quite a long time on the road, but the scenery was spectacular and dramatic, which made it all worthwhile.

After sitting for so long, Duncan and I went for a walk into Tamworth shopping district, just to get a feel for the place and see what is about and have some exercise. Callum and Andrew stayed in the van watching TV and playing on their computers. Tamworth has quite an extensive shopping area and does not seem to be lacking much.

We are going to enjoy the next few days here.
