Hi Steve, the map I included shows the second half of my 'unpaved' trip, with about 3kms of paved in between for about 36kms total. If you can see the little blue squares, each is a kilometre. Well spotted on the washout. Yes, it was deeper than it looks but I ended up jumping in to the four-wheeler track which had a muddy base and, well, you saw the result. One would be hard pressed to come off at a slower speed, and with the bank to catch me it was merely amusing. Astonishingly, I don't fall off much, but then, I ride like an old geezer.Excellent - thanks for sharing.
Out of interest, how long in Km or miles, was that section you showed in the vid? I remember Austin saying the maps really don't give the true scale of the country. And I have to say, despite your little shrubbery expedition, you appeared to choose the correct route on that bit of track, to my eyes anyway, cos the other side was a really deep looking wash-out.

...........an inappropriate "adventure" bike and the chance of being eaten by a bear.
Great stuff.
Lovely road. Slightly unsuitable bike, though you seem to manage it just fine. The tip over doesn't seem to have done much damage?
Great video Nick and glad to see you still haven’t come to your senses. Shame about the “off” although it looked like you and the bike just went for a little lie down. Relieved that all’s ok.
ps I’ve read and reviewed your ghost stories. Loved them. A couple of friends have bought kindle versions too.
