I was wondering why no one was using this short stretch of road which was once the main road, it is wide where its replacement joins it but quickly gets overgrown

In places it was virtually completely overgrown and I was expecting to find a collapse but I managed to ride the entire length to join up again. I am puzzled why it was left to decay as the new bit is just a narrower concrete road

Now its time to ride back to the village where I found the track over the mountain yesterday

Sadly this village doesnt seem interested in the recycling bit and its an unpleasant odour riding past that

In the village and a smiling happy bunch here


The school but it looks deserted today






A harmless Sunbeam snake lies dead on the track


I ride around the village


Now back out from the village and heading north

I see a lot of tea pickers today





Now to explore a couple of offroad tracks

Lots of coffee growing up here





Is it an old Yamaha DT 175 with a Lifan engine in it I wonder. The instrument console was from a Yamaha




Every track I ride has a bike come along


Another village on todays trip


Finally a snake that is still alive

Although it doesnt seem to want to move

Its a harmless Assamese Mountain Snake

Finally it slowly slithers off the road



Even once on the grass there was no desire to move away from me
