Well bulldusty here, not surprised with all the traffic using it

It reaches the paved 5026

A new wider road now and its finally paved throughout
IMG_3718.JPG
A new bridge is being built and diversions are in place

I just rode along that and really close to the river too, glad I was unaware of what was underneath me

The concrete piles have been cast-in-situ rather than hammered in

These two have wellies on which I could have done with

On the ride back I do better

A bit further on and I cant see any more track, looking at GE shows only fields along this track anyway so I turn back

He says if I carry on it gets very steep
IMG_3751.JPG
Under the pomelo tree I go
IMG_3752.JPG
He was right, the track became a very steep single track for these guys to get the crops down

I ventured off the main track to see these people, a single track carried on.
Then luck intervened, a guy rode along who lived at the end of the single track and he motioned to follow him
IMG_3757.JPG
After about 1.5 km we stopped and he said follow me, we climbed up to this
IMG_3758.JPG
Then I followed him down into a cave
IMG_3759.JPG

IMG_3761.JPG
Annoyingly neither of us had a torch
IMG_3762.JPG

IMG_3764.JPG

IMG_3765.JPG

IMG_3766.JPG
Then we climbed out and he took me to another cave further along

Back to the bikes and then I followed him home
