Al's DayCast 10 June 2026

Image
 Owdue Continuing the rainy season features😂 Another day in the life here in Chiang Mai and it's rainy season. On many a rainy season days it is a hot and sunny day with beautiful blue skies. Then, before you know it the clouds crash in and the heavens opened. Any so it was yesterday whilst I enjoyed a curry with my friend Charlie. Having eaten I needed the loo and whilst I went the rain conned me into thinking it was easing... So I set the phone to video... Instagram often refuses to post my UHD videos so here is a screenshot from the video which you can see by following the link to my YouTube channel here.

Burg Ride to Huai Mae On

  Owdue. Been trying to become a little better at the on bike videos. Ideally I would like to be able to only incorporate a bit of the ride to give the feel of the ride and significant events. But in this case there weren't any epic clips, just the Thai countryside flashing by so fast you cant see it. That's cos of the 200fps timelapse which this has taught me may be a little too quick. The INNOVV still didn't record the return, no idea why, am investigating further. And you can see it here;

Al's Huai Mae On Walk

 Owdue The end of May 2026 and the air is clean and the countryside is so lush. One of my favourite places is Huai Mao On and with a Burg trip there, and back there was a walk.

 Owdue Blimey, June, May 2026 has gone but it will not be forgotten as our Satang rose to doggie heaven to join Moohan. So June will bring a new phase to our lives here and the slideshow closes an era. Instagram wouldn't upload it but the slideshow is on YouTube here ;

Al's DayCast 30 May 2026

 Owdue As the month of May creeps towards a close and the rainy season has made things lush and green it was time to hop on the Burg and take a stroll in another of the areas my friend William Carroll introduced me to. In all the excitement I forgot to take any water which was a mistake. I also didn't take a brolly and for a splat of 10 minutes a very localised shower his exactly my spot. It adds to the fun. I felt so good that I rewarded myself with a glass of Red at Moment and Wine before home to dinner. I've spliced the #relive together in HD, this one isn't on YouTube as I plan a fuller version later because I know you love the sound of my voice🤭 Here's a link to it on Google photos https://photos.app.goo.gl/9fJSmtYJXpMAbsrq6 

Al's Mae Takhrai Ride Back

Image
 Owdue You may have seen if you subscribe to my channel that I did a recce at Father's Reservoir Mae Takhrai. I also attempted to timelapse video the ride there and back. Unfortunately my Innovv video can be a but temperamental and sometimes goes on strike. So I only got the ride  back, bit if a shame, the look is nice with lovely scenery. Still if only of interests to bikers around Chiang Mai,. here it is.
