Mountain man hits Tamworth, the country music capital!!

Well it's now the 27th December and I'm sitting up here in my home town of Tamworth.  Now I know many of you will want to ask many questions about the country music capital so I'll take a moment to try and answer some of them in advance:-

1.  It goes for 2 weeks at the of January.
2.  I like some country music but not the "my old girl ran off with the dog and my ute and my beer fridge has carked it and now I have warm piss" type music

Ok truth be told that's about all i can really tell you about it.  But if you've never experience it before it is well worth the trip.

Ok so being around 400km from Sydney has meant that I had to adjust my training slightly.  Although in saying that there are a couple of nice hills around Tamworth.  One of the good things about training out here though is that instead of staring at you, people will actually stop and ask what you doing, and I never get tired of seeing the look on their face when I tell them.

I think I'm a little ignorant about this mountain but it's not until people start saying things that you realise it's no cake walk.

Anyway as many of you may know country NSW has been absolutely hammered with rain over the last couple of weeks and we weren't spared on Christmas day.  Because the ground is so wet any little rain that we have makes the river rise.  To give you an idea I've posted a few photo's so you can see the rivers and creeks. 

And also I've posted a photo of what Tamworth looks like from the Lookout (and if you can see the river in the photo then you can see where I walked from that morning)

Hope you all had a great Christmas and catch you on the flipside.
