Slightly north of where the asphalt of the 1266 finishes and a lot of work going on here

On the ride back and the track widening is going ahead full steam
IMG_1193.jpg
Finally back on double track again, well I never made it to Huai Hom but not to worry I found great new tracks and hopefully tomorrow I might get to Huai Hom off road as long as that is where the track goes to

It brings me to a single track going down to this field where I manage to ride through and link up with a track going out the other side of it

About 750 metres before Pha a Bo Khli I take a side track

A bit further on and its double track which has to come out somewhere, both of my gps maps show a track 3 km north or 3 km east so its some new stuff for a while until I link up

Here I nearly turned around, luckily I didnt
IMG_1172.jpg

IMG_1171.jpg
I take another fork which doesn't look like it gets much use apart from these cattle
IMG_1170.jpg
Now to ride back
IMG_1169.jpg
It finished here
IMG_1168.jpg
The track reaches a double track but as its early I decide to explore a single track going off it, little did I know it would go on for a long way
IMG_1167.jpg
The track splits twice and one of the other tracks also had one of these bridges but I am heading in the direction of Huai Hom and want to link there if possible

Time to cross over the water again

A few days ago I found the Om Long Canyon, today I find the Nam Mae La Noi Canyon, I must check this out again early november to see what it looks like then with more water flowing down
IMG_1161.jpg

IMG_1160.jpg
The track rides alongside the river for a way
IMG_1159.jpg
It might be a bit more difficult after heavy rain
IMG_1158.jpg
The first of two water crossings
IMG_1156.jpg
This shelter even has running water
IMG_1155.jpg

IMG_1154.jpg
It goes down to the Mae La Noi river
IMG_1153.jpg

IMG_1152.jpg
Never be put off exploring single tracks that look like they only go down to a field, this one started todays fun adventure and went for ages making a great new link up loop

Part of the track heading north looks like its paved now, its been a few years since I last rode it and I guess change has taken place

Heading out of town and fires are burning everyday between here and Mae La Noi
