shortcuts...ish...

[moon]

been looking for a while for some shortcuts home from the new office & also from the new base to head office so sunday, having nailed the children to the floor, I set off exploring a bit on me trusty ole tralp.

found a great trail taking me around Chablis to the north, not any quicker than by road, & not for the car but heaps of fun on the tralp


I found myself up here, but really needed to be on that wee road in the middle distance




evenyually found it a followed it to here


from where I had to decide. I felt like Gandalf at the crossroads in Moria, "I have no memory of this place"... so I did what he did a sat down for a smoke...

Straight on?


or half left?


or 90°left


or 160° left?


I eventually carried straight on & after about 6km of trail varying from the stones you see in these pics to red dirt & then marble size gravel (!) it brought me back to a grain silo that i'd passed this morning going the other way!

later on I stopped overlooking the village of Chitry le Fort




& thence home.

I never did find a shorter or quicker way home, but I had a couple of hours fun in the sun!

Never trail ride without a protractor, that's my motto.

I hope you appreciate just how lucky you are over there mate!
