It all started very nicely in this quite province town. Walk along the river past some rice fields, then along an irrigation canal. However, at the westernmost turn the recorded track leads through a private farm. After crossing the canal and climbing up the slope we stood in the farm house area and immediately six guard dogs started getting interested in us. Very scary and super dangerous. We mananged to escape, jumping over the canal. We then followed the canal but it does not close the loop. Eventually we forced our way through the wilderness along the motorway, avoiding the equally dangerous (?) bull pasture... We then reached the aspahlat road and after a while we re-united with the recorded track. An interesting and adventurous walk, to say the least. It would be good to find an alternative for the private dog-infested farmland part of the walk. Thanks nevertheless for introducing us to this interesting region.
