I ride straight to Bong Ti to try to find the other end of the dirt track that apparently goes over to Phu Nam Ron, dirt starts at N14.03.271 E098 59.920 and after two weeks of sunshine the mud from last ride here has gone

It turns to a rockier climb with lots of nasty bamboo that I dont enjoy much and turn around

But I meet people along it who say it does not go to where I want.
Oh well I will have to go back to the other side where I called it off on the day I was caught out in the thunderstorm and see if I can cross from there, but that can wait for another day

I ride back to the road and head west trying out some new tracks I found today, the surface turns to dirt at N14 09.443 E098 58.428 until N14 09.999 E098 58.271
