I am parked on the overflow of the Huai Wa Reservoir

The water level looks quite low and it seems to be a small reservoir at first appearance until you ride around it

A ride through the bamboo forest now and the guy cutting them down hides when I get the camera out

I had best not upset him too much as he has this

He seems to have recovered now, I thought cutting bamboo down wasnt a problem but it obviously was for him

A few dead ends today, those houses are about 1 km away but I have to find another track to reach them

This track is getting narrow now
DSCF4312_zpsabeb775c.jpg

It turns to single track for the last 300 metres before it reaches the paved surface of the 2022
DSCF4313_zps8830336b.jpg

An easy enough crossing, I ride to the 2022 then turn around to explore more of these dirt tracks and I was surprised at how many of them were loops especially as none of the loops showed on the ESRI map

Dirt finishes at N18.90022 E100.79859.
On the ride back to Nan I explore a couple more dirt tracks.
