Motat 2014

The forecast for the day was, lots of grey cloud and rain, rain and more rain!  Yes the weather wasn't the nicest of days but that didn't dampen our spirits because we were really excited about going to Motat to learn about Wheels.  Please click here to see our photos of our fantastic trip.
