Good morning!
We have heard that some people are planning to travel to the race track this weekend to start clean up on their camps. Members of the Committee in the local area have advised that you do not come out. More rain is predicted for all this week and into next. We have received rain in the last few days, so it is very wet and boggy.
If you do make it out here, there is every chance that you will get stuck at the track. Both Bundock and Einasleigh are uncrossable and are likely to be that way for some time. To add to that the causeways are extremely slippery and it is only a matter of time before someone gets swept off the causeways because they are crossing them too high and being slippery makes it worse.
There are plenty more dry days to come out.
The Club will advise when the weather is more favourable.
Kind Regards
Deborah Woodhouse
(Honorary Secretary)
