Nan 3/1/2014

The route 1091

Total distance 88 km

I wasnt expecting to find this as its been dry for three weeks

But in the woods under the trees its still wet in places











Always somone coming along out on these tracks







This small obstacle prevented me from linking up a track but there was no way through







Under some serious bamboo cover now















Barbecue time























This was a tricky crossing that has convinced me I need a smaller bike for some of these off road trips



















Another Nan trip comes to an end and its back to Chiang Mai tomorrow after finding and mapping lots of new tracks over the last month

Tony's Place for my final dinner

Steak and ale pie, roast potatoes, cauliflower and gravy for 270 Baht.
I was kindly treated by Phil, cheers Phil

Nice photos .... is the guy with the rifle carrying a real hunting rifle? He looks a bit like a guy I did see near Santisuk, he was on a scooter like that and he was carrying a serious hunting rifle. Did not get a chance to talk to him, but it was for me the first in Thailand with a serious hunting rifle. Mind you I do not like the hunting (unless you eat it) but I like the rifle.

Great looking trails Col and I will use your track file to do it when next up there. Sorry I could not make it to Nan before you moved to the next stage.

Often they are shooting rats or birds
