North of Mae Ramat and the 105 quietens down

I left a waypoint here on the ride down from Mae Sariang so I could knew where to find it on Google Earth, according to GE I am wasting my time hoping to link up but I need to try it

My first water crossing

Once through the water its a dry bumpy track

I walked this first and decided not to try it today as the water was a bit too deep, with a riding buddy to help if needed I would have gone for it but didnt want to risk drowning the bike alone

This was the track that carried on but I expect with countless more water crossings

Time to ride back, I was going to ride to where the track ended north east of here but other tracks were located riding back along the 105 and I thought it was a better idea to go there first thing in the morning rather than at nearly midday

A few tracks that are not on the map were explored today

Plenty of goats to keep me company

The rack is a useful washing line, I was hoping the boots would dry out riding in the hot weather but they were still soaked when I got home

Thats the end of this track

I wasnt expecting any of these to go and link up and they didnt

I am in a shelter enjoying my lunch, the temperature is warmer here than I am used to

Lots of traffic pass while I am eating

A reservoir up here that is only three years old

More water to ride through
IMG_3071.JPG
I didnt see any point in continuing as there didnt appear to be a track except the riverbed

At least the ducks are happy

I am wondering how much water is being held back by the weir
IMG_3078.JPG
I ride to the top and theres nothing in reserve
IMG_3079.JPG
A bit more exploring through the water then I ride back
IMG_3080.JPG

IMG_3081.JPG
Its a lot drier out here

I think this asphalt is new since my last trip here, it still shows on the GPS map as unpaved
IMG_3085.JPG
I take the new 130 to the second friendship bridge
IMG_3086.JPG
I am actually on the bridge here but its blocked off and I dont think the armed soldiers will be too happy if I go any further into no mans land
IMG_3087.JPG
The infra structure is built but it doesnt look like it will be open in the near future, there is no one here
