17-1-16 Mae Sariang New Tracks And Villages Through The Mae Tho NP Day 2

[Captain_Slash]

Total distance 186 km





This track linked up two villages







They wont be pumping much water from there







Most of todays ride was farm tracks but they went out a fair way



Getting picturesque now















In Om Sung Noi the ice cream man is there but only selling it in a bread sandwich, I didn't fancy that





I am offered to eat but politely decline, much as I love pork that looks disgusting

















The fallen/chopped tree makes the gate complete



I make a nice loop ending up back in another village



I still failed to reach Om Sung, another trip is required

You are getting close Colin - another 2.5 km. as the crow flies

LR - if you can put together that gpx file of the tracks you can see in there, we'll try join everything.

Phil, I am sure that Colin will get there today or on another day - should be a nice ridgeline ride. As far as I can figure out, there is no way from Om Sung to reach the suspension bridge to the track which links with road 1088. However, from the north starting at the Catholic church you and Bob passed by a few weeks ago, I am quite sure you can link up to the suspension bridge on tracks through Ban Thung Kae - see the screenshot of the un-compiled map with the tracks traced in from the Catholic church to the suspension bridge as well as Colin's tracks from the last few days in green.

I started sketching some recent tracks onto a large sheet of paper but didn't realise how time consuming it would be



Definitely a wet season hobby, the map scale is 1/50,000

Colin - I can print you a huge map of your tracks from here once they're all compiled.

That's probably a much better idea, thanks Phil
