RE: I can see it - now I need to get to it! Cutting trails to a new viewpoint. Enduro riding, Thailand

in Worldmappin4 years ago

Thanks for the comment @pbortun and yes I totally get your point. Motocross and enduro bikes are not for everyone and definitely not tolerated by all. Having shared tracks and jumps by moto guys, mountain bikers and trail runners would not really happen back hope and you would see a lot of argument erupt... Even more so from walkers enjoying the wildlife and nature. It's a tricky one! And surprisingly there is a lot of wildlife in this forest (albeit there may be a lot more without us) but the trails are maintained well by us and there are often litter picking walks each month... Unfortunatly there are some hikers that leave picnic mess littered around far too often!

I guess even with that, wildlife and plant life would flourish better without us! We are thoughtful in the lines we cut and trails we open or maintain, avoiding larger trees, certain plants etc and within one rainy season a track can easily dissappear and will be over grown beyond recognition. We do swap and rotate less popular routes allowing them to overgrow.

This of course doesn't happen in national parks or animal sanctuaries etc.

Appreciate your upvote and tipu curate tag.. Thank you.
