More unmapped dirt trails in the Mok Fa waterfall area (Just south of R 1095 that heads west to Pai)


A bunch of us went out trail riding today north of Chiang Mai to some more trails Mark had scouted in the Mok Fa waterfall area again.

It was a perfect day, big high pressure system now sitting over eastern Asia, hopefully this means the end of the rain, the north east monsoon winds are here and the trails can dry out.

The trails were in the same area as we rode a few days before, but there is so much to explore up there, most of what we rode was new to us.



Map of the route we took north from Chaing Mai is below:

The trails are starting to dry out in this area with no rain and lots of sun, the clay was still greasy in places

Nasty downhill section with wet clay (camera as usual doesn't do the gradient justice)

One of the guys had a slip & snapped a lever, luckily we had a spare with us

Was a great day for trail riding -- Hass hadn't been trail riding for 4 years and forgot how awesome it was.

All in all a great day out.
 
Nice. Going check those trails out on Friday if someone is out riding let me know.
 
yes, lots..if someone would like to edit it
I can only get low quality clips off my laptop like this

 
Alex - the chest mounted camera is definitely the best location to experience the feel of the terrain, nice job (I wAs unaware you'd fallen off 'till i saw this).
