DSCF7162_zpscd23be04.jpg

This looks like pretty much the end of the line

Although this single track does go on further

Back behind the village someone has got a fire going already

Single track starts at N18.19858 E098.13443

It brings me out in Mae Lit Noi

I ride the single track back again as I want to explore another track from Mae Lit Luang Tai

The track I want to ride is very close to that fire

DSCF7174_zps02ef3488.jpg

I set off on the track but its looking smokey in the distance

DSCF7176_zps79881bc9.jpg

I leave the bike a bit further back and walk up towards the fire
DSCF7177_zps8618ec22.jpg


DSCF7178_zps249b34a6.jpg

I have no way of knowing how far the fire is burning for and its a bit too smokey for my liking

DSCF7180_zpsedb8eab4.jpg

The fire seems to gain momentum and the incredible heat this far away is amazing

DSCF7183_zps997557c6.jpg

The track is barely visible now, I cant be bothered waiting around here for the smoke to disappear so I walk back to the bike

A pick up truck comes along and drives through it but I have no desire to follow and ride back home, dirt finishes at N18.16722 E098.07735
