Nan 9-3-15 Two Go To Pha Phueng Cliff And Cave

[Captain_Slash]

Total distance 228 km

The riders
Lisa and Colin Kawasaki KLX 150

Lisa who I met in Nan a year ago has returned so off we go to find a cliff and cave.
Heres Lisa inspecting the tobacco



In Manee Pruek.
The KLX 150 managed the trip alright and was more comfortable than I expected it to be







Time to walk to the cave





One of the locals who spoke some English wanted to show us the cave so we gladly agreed



Apparently in the wet season there is a lot of water flowing through here

I had visions of that falling across the road but thankfully it didnt



Now off to the cliff and viewpoint

Getting here involved some offroad riding and while the KLX coped with it our combined weight plus luggage was about 150 kg and it was labouring a little bit on uphill sections.
The bike was probably designed to carry a 50 kg rider





The smoke ruins the view





Back in Manee Pruek

Riding back I can see an unmapped track to my left, something to explore in the future
