[Captain_Slash]

Distance 93 km

The riders

Alex Honda CRF 250
Andre Honda CRF 250
Ron Honda 500 Rebel
Colin Honda Wave 125i

Just about to set off





Now for a bit of offroad riding



Ron finds the Rebel easy on this offroad bit













After a while we say goodbye to Ron and continue exploring more offroad





This old Yamaha DT 2 stroke is from the 1970s







Some steep rocky bits out here but the Wave coped with them all okay





















Alex and Andre are having fun on the CRFs









We take a track that links the 3046 with the 4002















I mapped this track a few years ago now and its only my second time along here

Some dust being thrown up now









This track looks a bit slippery here now

Another old Yamaha

























Part of the old track has gone now and this new bit replaces it, its quite steep going downhill and I dont think it would be much fun in the wet season













Some stunning scenery seen up here today

Now in Ban Witthaya and its changed a bit since last trip



The was the way through last trip but now its been built on











We all go to the Nan Steakhouse for dinner

Lasagna and garlic bread 170 Baht

Ice cream with cranberry sauce 50 Baht

Another entertaining report, Colin. Good to see you are having fun up north. My trip is over though; I fly back to London today (Saturday). But I shall keep up to date with your reports from Blighty. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Starting to look a bit dry on the hillsides now, I see.

It was a pleasure to have met Alex, Andre and George and to share a bit of riding and enjoying the scenery together. It's a good routine you have Colin. Thanks for your time.

Roger that trip of yours went quickly, next year I must try harder to get to Kan while you are there.

Jim, yes it is getting dry now apart from the dirt ones in the shade where the damp tracks can still catch you out.

It was great meeting you here in Nan Ron and the first time I have had any riding partners in my two months here, on previous trips there were always riding buddies coming to here but Nan doesnt seem so popular with riders these days.

Having riding buddies means I get to see photos of myself
