Our holidays have always been about escape. Getting away from the modern world and the unhealthy fixation with the passing of time. So this new year, the year 2000 begins.Our holidays have always been about escape. Getting away from the modern world and the unhealthy fixation with the passing of time. So this new year, the year 2000 begins.Not only is this event sending the party animals into a frenzy of anticipation, even our computers seem determined to play-up big time. So when the whitefella clock turns over 2000 turns around the sun where will you be?Time to get out of town I'd say, find somewhere quiet and far from this modern madness. How does a camp, beside a mountain stream, under a star filled sky seem to you. The quiet rattle of the hobbles as the horses graze, a pleasant meal and a bottle of wine or two, and the company of friends old and new.Call me sentimental or maybe a closet doomsdayer, but I know where I want to be. You can join our new year ride departing this century December 29th1999 from Spring Spur and returning in the same century on the 3rd of January 2000.The new century, well that doesn't begin until the year 2001!25/10/99
