Place to stay?
Campsites have become increasingly remote with fewer and now no facilities at all. It's a long ride to a shower or a laundry and there's always a risk when leaving expensive camping gear on site. The room at Weldborough has been useful but mostly for storage. The house itself, while comfortable, doesn't have basic facilities like a shower or proper toilet and the owner smokes quite alot. Ben's spotted a place near Pyengana that he could rent. The timber house is sited a few hundred metres off the main highway and on a southerly slope, above the valley floor where the cold air and smoke usually sits. It's in the state forest with just one house nearby. The pics look reasonable but most rooms have carpet which could be a concern and there are no photos of bedrooms, bathroom or laundry. It's still worth considering and Ben will make an appointment to inspect the property next week.
Ben's in St Helen's today and buying some prescription medicine to help relieve his symptoms. Only six weeks ago he was feeling invincible; running along bush tracks and attending taekwondo training. And before that he was sailing, fossicking and fishing. Let's hope the problems can be sorted out soon and he can become invincible again.
