Logging road, Waterside Thinning in progress in the woodlands south of the Jed Water. All through the struggle along the riverbank I could hear machinery at work somewhere in the forest and was worried about getting out along this road.  After a delay for a puncture repair I was able to get through with the work taking place in the trees to the left.

The road was rather muddy.
