13th September 2009, near Lonnavale.

The name reminds me of the Soggy Bottom Gang from the movie “O Brother, where art thou?”.

It was a Pandani club walk, but there were only three of us; Simon, Jane and me. Others were probably put off by the forecasted weather or the length of the walk.

It was a great day. The track was one of those where you are challenged a bit to figure out where it is going. A lot of it was mud or running water, climbing over and under fallen trees, then slogging through snow. Jane managed this the best like a Jacana walking on lily pads. Simon got seriously bogged; Jane and I reacted appropriately by laughing and taking photos of him.

And yes, he is wearing shorts and a T shirt – some things just can’t be explained
