I was wondering why no one was using this short stretch of road which was once the main road, it is wide where its replacement joins it but quickly gets overgrown

In places it was virtually completely overgrown and I was expecting to find a collapse but I managed to ride the entire length to join up again. I am puzzled why it was left to decay as the new bit is just a narrower concrete road

Now its time to ride back to the village where I found the track over the mountain yesterday

Sadly this village doesnt seem interested in the recycling bit and its an unpleasant odour riding past that

In the village and a smiling happy bunch here
