It would be so much easier if they wrote the names of places in big letters on the lawn. Dead reckoning led me to believe that this was it.

Exactly why a crossroad junction rates a name I have no idea, but this was what I found when I got to where it was supposed to be.

Today i went on a solo nav in MTW to brush up on my skills as I needed to remind myself that I do really know how to navigate after making some really stupid mistakes lately. The first waypoint was the North Pinjarra Airstrip, the trap is the old bitumen strip that is a mile or so west of the red gravel strip. It is on the wrong side of the powerlines.
