I fine it very hard !!!!

OHHHHHH MATRON ................No you rude people !!!

STAYING ON THE BLACK STUFF

It was far to nice yesterday so "Sod work" and go for a play , it was around 3pm so i thought a nice run to Domme and back , a nice hour of twisties.

Our lass was happy feeding her new friend with stale bread



I headed of stopping at the St Julien-du-Lampon on the Dordogne for an arty farty pic



These two guys came over for a nosey.....Fox Terriers



Didn't take any pics of the black stuff , just enjoyed the empty D703 and arriving at some big old house



The Chateau de Montfort





This is only about 25km for home and on turning round for taking the pic i noticed "DIRT"

Unfortunatly after about a km it ended



It got better



Donk was enjoying it



Soon after here passed another inviting lane .............it'd be rude not to !!!



Realy easy riding and so many choices !!! left



Or right



I'd left the GPS at home so was just keeping the sun on my back and guessing

After maybe a klick or two i saw this in the woods



Turns out its a cave/pothole !!! you cant see on the pic but it must have been 20+ M deep

Now from here i passed through woods , fields and the odd tiny village and popped out , suprisingly VERY close to home !!!




Proper "Green lanes"



Backinto the woods



Tighter sections





More open stuff



Woods again



On to someones drive !!!! all legal though



Then strangly enough i could have been in a differant country 90% of trees here are scrub oak , but here i'm in a pine forest with sand trails !!!



Someone put a BIG BLACK line across my trail !!



Within the next 10kms i'd come out of the woods in a place called Auniac 4 km from home!!!
I love it here ................a good 25kms of trails onmy door step i've never done after 10 years of being here

Phil
