Alternative Route North from Chiang Mai (avoids 107)

[The Bigfella]

For about a year now, we've been using a route to escape Chiang Mai to the North that avoids the major roads. Colin (aka Captain Slash) came up with this one. Most of it is lovely rural and semi-rural roads with little traffic. We haven't done a timed comparison, but there's probably not much in it either way... although getting the SuperHighway crossing messed up would make the 107 route probably a lot longer, timewise.

Here's the GPX file for that route.... although I see a small issue at the point the route crosses the 1001. Nothing to worry about, but no need to do the strange kink there
