Theres a new road that runs around the reservoir, last year it was only gravel and dirt but now its a nice new asphalt surface apart from about a 1 km section from N12.45.341 E099.38.797 to N12.45.793 E099.38.891 which is still dirt

When its finally full to capacity that building will be mostly submerged

Followed by part of one of those pineapples, the cook ate some as did I and a German couple staying here ate the rest so none of it was wasted.

Hi Colin, not done much riding this year at all. Met Ally today and had a good chat. Be good to meet again when you are next in Thailand! Keep up the good work! Muzz...
