Ben returned to collect the ATM card from Weldborough with only $14 of loose change in his pocket, just enough to buy fuel. Fortunately, the card had arrived while the pin number, sent separately, is due in a few days. He attended taekwondo training* at Longford yesterday and will attend another session at Bridport tonight, followed by a 50km ride up and over The Sideling to the new campsite at Myrtle Park where he's paid to stay for a week. Ben reports that the training is fun and a good way to improve fitness.
* It's a while ago now but, for a few years up to age 13, our traveller (and his sister) used to attend taekwondo training every week, mostly with Tigers Taekwondo club. They worked through the gradings achieving 'red belt' level (one below black belt), took part in state competitions and were members of the Victorian state team for national championships held on the Gold Coast. That was before virtual sports like computer games consumed the spare time.
