XTreme Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I was out for a few hours as temps were perfect at 24C......ended up turning off the main road near Barranda and going along some rural roads I've never been on. You get a few isolated farming properties here and there but apart from those you won't see any sign of life! Obviously I found some abandoned shit......but not as much as I expected! Ended up on a road I'd been on before....... .....and some ruins I'd visited in the past at some point. But this time there were decomposing farm animals strewn around the place......fucking stinking it was! About 100 miles in all........makes a nice change not to sweat my nuts off! Please note the absence of a van.......cos I believe in keeping it real! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 If you ever get sick of abandoned farms, you can start visiting sewer treatment plants, they're proper stinky too 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's only 100 miles and then you get soooooooooooooooo much better roads. I'm not getting on your case but you've got so much potential where you live ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where I was going to see @Skippy. It's been on the cards for a long time, but travel restrictions from Oct to May prevented it......then when those were lifted the wall of heat came down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it mate, there is soooooooooooooo much to see where you live. You don't even need to find abandoned shit, just look at some of those roads, if I get fit again and I have the time I'm heading your way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Hey @boboneleg, if you´re in the neighborhood and fancy popping by, I might show you around a couple of nice roads. Although, bring sport touring tires on the Tenere, one needs a level playing field. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
