So now 'the man' has put traffic signs on this once forest track, that was once a main road, & is still classified as one, & looks like it will be again!
despite the high temp of 11℃ today
most of this track is in the shade & there were still patches of ice...

Oh
Just found a really poor video of me going the opposite direction to the images 3 & 4 in the quoted post
The 'sport cam' cost pennies...
and you can see why!
#MotoSky #OldPolishRoads #jmzRides
Crikey!
Looks there are reinstating this forest track as a road.
Headed over there today & they have scraped the top layer, widened it and placed markers along its route.

A field track with a very long shadow of a person, a motorbike further down the track, forests in the distance
a field track with a motorbike casting a long shadow newly sewn winter crops in the field on the right on the horizon a very bright sun forests in the distance
A clean motorcycle on an extremely muddy forest track. the forest track has huge tyre tracks of logging machines recently felled trees and forest lay behind the motorcycle
a very muddy forest track with puddles and various agriculture tyre tracks, also recent bicycle tracks, disappears into the distance. To the left of the track a very substantial religious shrine with a wooden cross behind, forests behind the shrine and in the distance
Long shadows and deep mud!
...and I really wish I hadn't just washed the bike!
Nice sunny day, a bit chilly,
but my favourite forest road had recently been logged,
I came back filthy!

a snowy and muddy track disappears into the distance between fields containing recently harvested corn and recently planted winter crops that feed the soil
a different curving snowy and muddy track disappears into the distance between a field containing recently harvested corn and snow covered fields, on the horizon some forest and heavy clouds in the evening sky
a snowy and muddy track disappears into the distance on the right, to the left snow covered fields, on the horizon in the distance two towers of the village church can be seen
a panoramic view of the previous track and fields
A wander up the old roads & fields behind the village
if I get my lights sorted out I'll be back up here tomorrow on me motorbike getting filthy
[I can see a few quads have been up today,
and I still don't have a steady hand for panorama photos]

I entered the same forest road from the other side today
Odd how they have laid this tarmac, stopping about 50 yards in, either there is plans for housing or they'll do the whole lot
also, a St. James pilgrimage sign from another part of Poland nailed to a tree!

Sunny dry day
6.7℃ - real feel 3.1℃
5 mins into my ramble I hit mud,
joyous mud,
wasn't wearing waterproofs!
had to change in the garage
2 new shrines on a well known forest track
the 'man' is covering it in tarmac!
...it is still a legal road since the 1930s

Today's ramble, at 20℃!
11℃ tomorrow
took me along the last part of the old road to Radomsko,
related to a post from last year.
Very wide forest road, paved with small stones,
was 1 of 2 main roads to Radomsko before the D91 was built.
A lovely big shrine too
#MotoSky #JMZrides #OldPolishRoads
The shrine is a recent addition to the Kochbunker,
only appearing in 2024 according to Google maps,
these shrines seem to pop-up everywhere
here are 4 screenshots from google maps from 2012 - 2024 of the Kochbunker and the shrine

Even more Kochbunkers
One in a field next to the Warta
and one on a dodgy bit of road that has recently been reduced to 50kmph from 90,
but who cares..!!

a track in the centre of ploughed fields with a motorcycle, on the horizon trees, blue sky with white clouds
a track in the centre of ploughed fields with motorcycle handlebars seen from behind, on the horizon trees, blue sky with white clouds
a muddy track through a forest with some puddles and mud
Still officially a road
So the farmers don't plough it
muddy in the shade
