Nan-4010 And 1343 Plus Reservoirs

[Captain_Slash]

The route 101, 3171, 1026. 4010, 1342, 1024, 1343, 1218, 1134,

Total distance 277 km

I take the 101 to Wiang Sa then the 1026 to Na Muen and now to ride the 4010

Some shots from along the 4010

My first ride along here was a year ago and it turned into a horrible wet day, its so much nicer out here today

I take a dirt track to look for the Huai Nam Fueang reservoir

Well that track turned into a dead end, its a locked gate and the track stops

I can just see the 4010 through the trees

I take a different fork on the track to find this elusive water

At last I can see it down below

Time to ride back to the paved surface, this dirt track is dry out here in the sun

But where the sun isnt on it the surface is still wet and slippery

Break time for the workers

Now off on another dirt track to find another small unknown reservoir

Just short of full capacity

I stop along the 1343 and these dogs soon come rushing up to me with their tails wagging non stop

The toilet at the dogs home appears to be missing a roof

Time to say goodbye to my new friends

I tried to ride to the overflow of the Huai Mae Tek reservoir but there was barbed wire across the track leading to it and I could only get to the other end of it, despite scouting around along a few tracks I could not find an entry point

Along the 1134 I stop at the Ban Mai Chat San reservoir

Well down from the overflow

This lad was happy with his Lifan that said Honda 70 on the side

It wouldnt be a good idea to take that down dusty tracks

A tasty salami pizza at the Nan Steakhouse for 200 Baht
