We head out on bikes to the Cotigao Wildlife Park, a large area encompassing several villages.There are roads all the way through it plus numerous side trails of varying quality.As expected we see little wildlife but the beautiful surroundings and the ride are a blast.At one point we take a side trail which quickly becomes off road territory.All very well but we're doing it on a sports bike and a chopper.I'm loving it, up on the pegs ripping through the stones and sand, Dave is a little less enthusiastic.I'll always fondly remember the kids in the one-room schools running to shout hello and wave as we fly past. Then seeing them at home time,wandering across the paddy fields to some unknown settlement among the palm trees.
We return to Patnem and decide to do something I've waited a year to do. Fire up the mp3 player and speakers and listen to some tunes on the rocks as the sun sets on Patnem beach.Two large KingFisher Strong (8.3%) accompanies Hendrix,Stones (Dave),MC5 ,Clash Buzzcocks Rancid leading into big Charlatans sesh (Then,Crashin In' era). 4 hrs riding and 2 hrs sounds,Perfect.
