Wuhan to Southern Anhui and Back

Last year i took a few days out in in Southern Anhui. I cant remember the road numbers but i usually just pick ones that go via mountains. Sorry to be vague, but i thought a few pics is better then nothing. All around the Huang Shan area is stunning. I didnt have my camping kit, but there were plenty of places to pitch-up

My bike.. nicked last month from my apartment complex's underground car park. Never had a thing go wrong with it and it had done a lot of miles.. the speedo broke at 5500km.. so maybe something did go wrong with it!

Crossing the Yangtze. I just made the last boat of the day. I wish i had noted where it was as it was really rural and really cool.

Drinks with the boss and chef of a local restaurant. This was on my last night, on my first night in Anhui, in a small town, the police came into the hotel to interrogate me.... all very nice though. I think he even may have had a beer.

Sorry all, not the most informative of ride reports but still a few nice pics i thought. I'll upload my Shandong adventures (mostly in and around the Tai Shan mountain range), and a couple of Hubei trips, plus the big one we did: Hubei - Henan - Guanxi - Yunnan - Sichuan - Chongqing - Hubei, as soon as i can.

pretty cool place

may the lice of a thousand camels infest the underpants of the scumbag who stole your bike

The route plate on the ferry says it runs between Huayang (华阳) and Xiangkou (香口), wherever those places are.

cheers
