It's currently FREE for all Play Station Plus members. So, I downloaded it last night. Really happy about the updated manager career gameplay where it allows you to make your own football club from scratch. JackDoff 1 Link to comment

Smoggy Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Mountains next week for extra long weekend Already sorting out my walking stuff @marron hope walking tracks are now fully open. The silence..the wind in the trees...my son moaning he is bored All great stuff. wendybr, EmMac and Edinburgh 3 Link to comment
marron Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Not yet, but, hopefully.... If everything is still shut the way it is now though, I'd recommend the Hat Hill -> Bald Hill one. Will be nippy but spectacular if it's a nice day. I did Centenniel Glen/Porters pass the other week and the top sections above the cliff line are wet af but through the passes themselves and below the cliffs was surprisingly dry. If you were hankering for Grand Canyon and that's still closed this would be the closest thing to that. Don't know what state things are at up at Mt Vic but the tracks on the western side I think should be open and there are some nice ones there as well with some caves and things.

marron Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 A good spiced rum goes amazing with a cigar, too. I like smokey whiskeys best, so, the two smokes get lost if that makes sense. Legionista and Carns 2 Link to comment
