Tomorrow we’re travelling several hours south to take photos of the horse-riding section of the Blackwood Marathon. In other years, we have taken the caravan and camped on a farming property at the end of the ridden section.
This year, we are having two nights in a bed and breakfast place and leaving the caravan at home. This will take much less effort on Vince’s part and we can share the driving.
There are five sections to the marathon: running, swimming, paddling a canoe, horse-riding and bike-riding. The Iron Men, Women and Juniors tackle all five sections but others form teams with each person doing one section.
The photo is from last year’s marathon. Such a lot has happened since then.

Looking forward to seeing your photos on horse riding.

@JudyEv Still can't see the photo. Probably an error on my side.

@anya12adwi We process our photos now in Lightroom. We do a lot of tweaking with them.

@JudyEv Woah! Then he would understand those features- colour correction, saturation, sharpness and etc!

Looks like exciting times for you.
I suppose the weather would be in the comfortable zone for you and the mercury has not started rising much.
Looking towards reading about your trip tales and pictures!
I hope that Vince is doing fine!
Best of wishes!

It is slightly warmer than usual here, may be due to increased seasonal pollution.
By this time, we used to start wearing Full Sleeve Shirts or Tshirts even during the day but now we are in half sleeve only.
We might see some changes in the coming days.

Some of the teams are very competitive. I have distant relatives who do all five sections on their own.

Yes, so very much has happened since last year's marathon.
I am happy to hear that you will still attend it this year, I know how you both enjoy taking photos.
Staying at a B&B is a nice alternative to camping, especially if it means that it is easier on Vince.
We just received news a couple of days ago that my hub's eldest brother, Bob, will have a heart bypass operation done next Wednesday. He is travelling to a hospital 3.5 hours from his home for the surgery. Since he is a widower he will have to bring in hired nurses to care for him after the surgery. With it being autumn and cold and flu season, he will be quarantined for the foreseeable future. We need to rely on text messages and facetime to keep in contact with him.

Good that you can share the driving, that would be good for Vince as he can relax a bit. Hope that you have a great time there taking photos. We would wait to see those pictures here in your posts.
