This unpaved track wasnt here four years ago on my last trip so time to investigate

The further I went the newer the track and it was not the easiest of terrain to ride on

Here I walked on a bit to see if it was worth riding on
IMG_9906.JPG

IMG_9907.JPG
It most definitely was and once past that bit I was on a well used older double track that I knew would link up with previously mapped tracks

It linked up past the Sanian Waterfall creating a new dirt loop

Lots of new places like this have sprung up

I have no interest in riding through there today
IMG_9931.JPG
It appears a bike has crossed through at that point though

Surprised to find there is still an unpaved section along this road

Now to see if this old bridge that I found and rode across a few years ago is still sound enough to ride over
IMG_9940.JPG
As I walk back to get my bike he rides over

Once across its still unpaved just like before

White snapper/seabass/sea perch, whichever name you prefer to call it, rather than the usual John Dory lots of restaurants use, very nice too
 
Nice route Colin and a nice waterside camp spot included.
 
Great scenic photos as always Colin. I am in Kan now, arrived Wednesday. Today (Thursday) is my 71st birthday! Celebrated by going to Big-C and spending 7000 baht on groceries! I flew Malaysia Airlines via KL. Good flights, excellent cabin crews, fabulous service. I've seen a lot of bad reviews lately. Fake news I suspect. I think it's marvellous the way you travel all over on that tiny bike. I can't drive one of those at all!
 
Bob when I was camping in the UK up until 2008 I always tried to find a spot like in the 3rd to last photo
 
It was time to get rid of it Jim, there is nothing on the market that particularly grabbed me so have got the Wave for now
