We managed to get suitably lost..
Following trails that looked like they were going the way we wanted then only to eventually loop back around.
Having the GPS was a big help and we could at least see the way we had come and give us an idea.
Eventually we came back out near the section of trail where we had entered and back on to the main road.
Mike needed to get back to the family.. I stayed on with Team Thailand.
Weather was threatening and some rain.. but nothing bad in the end..
There is a sign near here.. No entry to vehicles in Thai.. We ride around the gate and carry on.
K. Nui knows everyone ;-)
The guys said the parks have started banning vehicles as the 4 WD do so much damage to the trails.
This really was one muddy sticky trail.. Slipping and sliding and wheels spinning..
Some steep down bits with the ar5e end sliding down sideways..
We made it to the National Park Office and camped here by the river. They all lived in three buildings behind me.
Just from the ride 5 or 6 KM from the National Park gate entrance
The days ride would not be complete with out copious amounts of near lethal Thai whisky.. Need to plan my JD storage for future trips.
Woke up every morning with a sore throat from the lethal brews..
Sleeping area and wardrobe.
Morning coffee with K. Nui
Group Photo
We couldn't take the main muddy sticky trail out.. as the steep part where all ar5e ends were sliding sideways down, just too slippery to go back up.
So we took some fun jungle trails around that. This easier way also had it's own challenges..
My photo just on the tight turn with a steep down
K.Nui took this with my camera just before the tight turn to the right and down.
For the pros not a problem I am sure.. but for some of us.. yikes..
(The camera is lying as usual and doesn't show how steep and tight things were)
We made it out.. time for a group photo..
There had been just enough rain that made the main dirt roads back real fun..
Not dusty, not muddy. Just firm enough for the Knobbies to bite in and enjoy the ride back around 80 km
