Boat
For this drawing I decided I would go completely off road and rural. I took off in a northerly direction from Rocha and came to large rolling valleys and outcropping rock to the caves of Salamanca. When I saw the valley with a little river in it, I knew I'd found the place.
On the land was a farmhouse and I first made friends with the farmer and his wife who had no problem with me riding on their land. I started at the top of a rocky hill and had the most amazing view for miles. It was fantastic just to see where I could ride to and come back to the starting point to see where I’d just been. The ride down the rocks was fun and I had to jump the bike quite a bit to get it over certain rocks. On the flat it went like a dream, well a very bumpy dream as the terrain was covered in tufts of hard grass. On the other side was quite a large river and I had to search to find a crossing point but riding through the water was a lot of fun, even though some cows got a bit scared. When I’d finished, I joined the farmer and his family for a very traditional outdoor bbq including some fish out of the river.
