I'd add swamp navigation for dummies to the reading list and I'd take 'Goat Herding in Mountainous Areas' at TAFE (not sure if there are pre-requisites for this) as this will allow you to traverse hills and rocky outcrops on Goat Tracks.

Spokes are for my bike in case I let you ride it

Approximately 250 sleeps left to go....it's coming up fast.

I can confirm a rumour about the Welsh Captain... no no no, only the one about defections....

Whilst on an expedition recently to the North Shore of Sydney driving on Pittwater road I saw a group of large tents set up in a park, most were white but there was one in amongst the trees in full camo, it wasn't as tall as the others and looked familiar, this made me suspicious. I pulled over and to my surprise I saw a little SWM being ridden by a gent with red curly hair, red nose and big floppy feet, it was him - the ex Welsh Captain, he looked a little pale with dark rings around his eyes, perhaps he was being worked too hard, who knows. But one thing is for sure...the humiliating defeat dealt by the Husky NS(W) team at the 2012 event was too much for him to bare and that's why he's run away with the circus.

Dear team Husky New South
250 Sleeps before the nightmare begins for team Husky New South. While you sit on your laurels and bask in your past glory, you are right that team Wales was spotted at the circus but it was in fact Travis Pastranna's Nitro Circus where we have been practicing the globe of death ready for the hill of death and the bogs of doom which Drakie has assured me will be included this year. the rumours coming out of your camp is that you have some international has been joining your team, which can only mean that there has to be a shake up who's been dropped to make way?

I think we may be heading for the longest leadup to any event in living memory........ 



Should be fun!

True or untrue , Im not sure

However as well as the brand teams of three , 2013 may include for Trophy and Vase teams , therefore increasing the size of teams and furthering our effort of stamping the WELSH DEEPER INTO THE BOGS.

The only redeeming thing the Welsh will have , is a very , very gun rider. I happened to be there when the question was asked of "THE RIDER".
It will be a big call for this Rider to carry the whole Welsh team on his shoulders.

"The Rider" will no doubt finish and finish very well , but the Welsh team he has joined and paticularly the current Captain are very doubtfull.

[odd1]

Don,t worry about the Welsh captain the only time he doesn't finish is when he is carted off on the ambulance and that is because he failed to persuade the driver to finish the course he must have been part of the husky new south team as he said it was to tough. Besides Reeksy won't beable to string 2 finishes together on that PE he will kill it. Don't be thinking of lending him MY husky auto. QLD are threatening to send a team but have already let slip they might have to recruit a new south Welshman in order to finish it really is a bit rich bringing in ring in's
Welsh team

[HVA61]

I would like to clarify my comments regarding the Captain of the Welsh Team , we as a team do not cast doubt of his ability as a rider to finish the event only on his dubious skills in relation to the mechanical preparation of a bike capable of carrying him the distance .

Bearing in mind the Captain of the Welsh team finished the 2012 Harrow event on one of our Husqvarna auto's  he borrowed , which by the way is now on long term loan to insure the Welsh team is not overly embarrassed in 2013
 by a total DNF.

The Welsh Captain made a point of telling me that the QLDers are girls and dont like mud , i thought that was a bit tough .

Yours in Harrow and bogs
Captain of The Husky NSW Team

The Welsh Captain made a point of telling me that the QLDers are girls and dont like mud

Are you sure he said that?  I can’t understand anything he says
 
Anyhow what would he know?  As long as there are nice clean amenities with separate cubicles and it’s not raining we’ll woop em.

Dear Captain Patchwork
It is obvious that something was lost in translation, I told him it was a desert and was all on sealed roads but never mind. You will be pleased to know that I have been preparing the Husky to the same exacting standards as my own but now realize why the bike was so slow last time the gear stick had fallen off so must have been stuck in 1st now the bike should really fly and another thing it didn't have a clutch lever either never mind it is all sorted now. Managed to craft all the  parts out of paper mashau and play doe.
I see Drakie Has bought another Jawa I think he has been sold a lemon looks like a Honda C90 step threw and is hinting that the well known Cezch rider David Knight might be doing a few vinduro's it will take him a while to work out that the kick start is on backwards so don't see him any competition to the Welsh team.
Kind regards
Welsh Team

[Drakie]

Ah ha, so the smack talk is hiding some serious reservations about these Intersate Trophy and other Teams standing up to the rigors of Harrow 2013. We will have to hold a separate bitumen course for the Queenslanders so they don't get dirty or wet as Norm Watts is bringing down his period correct 'arrowing bike' to help set the course, which gives even me cause for concern. Gawd help us if Cater comes on board, can we handle two tough men laying out bunting through the swamp?
Team Wales has a lot to live up to and it's true that their 'face in every mag' leader might have to literally carry the team but keep in mind his choice of bike will see him probably carrying that to the finish too.
"Back flips at the Nitro Circus?"....that clown 'Back Flip Baker' is only capable of flipping allegiences onto any odd bike that will see him to the finish.
Stay posted on an addition to the course on the Sat arvo and we have booked the Mechanics Insitute hall for the Saturday Night shitfest um, Team presentation dinner.
