A rather large pig but it was rather camera shy and kept on running off when I pointed it in the pigs direction

A single track wooden bridge leads out the other exit from the settlement so its motorbikes only now

The bike gets jammed on this narrow track and I cant turn it around so it had to go down backwards which was fun

350 metres lower in the valley and its sunny and a lot warmer

Looks like single track heaven... I think I will camp out a few night and do some exploring in the next week or two. With your gpx. files and google earth I'm going to plot some wicked loops.

Thanks
Jim
