A couple of km past Sob Moei on the 3004 is a turn for a reservoir

Virtually full to capacity

No tyre tracks or foot prints here, only hoof marks and the track disappears so its turn around time

Further along the 3004 its been fenced off by the crash barriers so its not possible to ride in and park up anymore

This village is marked on the map but not the track to get there so I set off on the one going in that direction
IMG_8230.jpg
The concrete track going there is completely overgrown where I should be in the village but there is no village here, only the old water tanks from years ago.
On my ride home when I stopped at the viewpoint again a guy there told me the village was moved about six years ago to its new location

They are on a rat hunting expedition.
There was one further track I could see from a vantage point but it was heavily barricaded up and not accessable
