I had a great ride through a place, although local, I haven't spent any time in, preferring the logging roads proper. What a mistake. The Lantzville foothills are packed with great trails - Andy has been telling me for eons, but I have never really got round to trying them. Since the Logging Co. have shut all access to the back roads recently, new pastures have to be tried. Here is the map of today's route...(Ignore the dates on the images, the camera powered down and reverted to the default date...these were taken in June, 2014)

| Above:A good use of timber? This is the usual access to Domount from the Kidney - Boomerang connector. Not now...no way through. Below...tank traps, logs and rocks...but some kind souls have decorated them...access is possible a km further on in the Boomerang direction here... |
There are some challenging sections, but most of the trails in the foothills are easy, rewarding and allow for good speed. Pics below...

| Above: Don't try to leave through Vipond Road...It's Gated...and shut (June 2014 - ignore the date above...) Below: a selection of shots from the trails...A good mix of woodsy, twisty, open, grades and vistas... Well worth a ride. |

Sorry about the word verification, but too many Nigerian robots are trying to sell me weird shaped vegetables from Sweden.
