We set of at 07:30 and by 09:00 we'd
backtracked downhill to the police check point. The officers confirmed
the new road was indeed THE way to Yading. It was raining and they
remembered us from the day before so instead of checking our passports
they invited us inside and gave us 2 pears each to eat while the rain
passed.

We
were quickly very pleased with our decision to take the new road which
followed a river upstream on new tarmac rather than the spaghetti of
wiggles uphill on rough track we had been planning to take.
We
passed through construction works for a hydroelectric dam and the
workers all insisted on a photo. This section involved a short tunnel:
the workers told us to keep right. We realised why in the tunnel as the
left fork emerged into thin air 200ft up a cliff where the dam was being
built!
We rejoined our map at a little village where we found a handy family run truck stop guesthouse where we installed ourselves.
