Is the Pamora farm available for visitors/tourist which I can take my family for this forthcoming holy week or only for private guest? I checked their website but seems not mentioned. Need accomodation for 1 night etc. Coming from Vigan, place seems not far and very near the highway only.

Made a side trip in this farm (Pamora)last week as previously visited by our master rider Beerboy. See enclosed tracks. I do not have dirt bike so we need to use a tractor and horse coming from the farm going to the river) Unfortunately the tractor cannot continue farther hence we need to walk approx 600 m++ x 2 (back and forth in the middle of nowhere ) get into the river. The track (600m ++) is previously submerged in water but not anymore. Accuracy of gps was fairly ok in this open land getting 2 meter.

If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.

Aside from the bag on my cargo bag, I have a backpack with a hydration pack, toiletries, first aid kit and some food. The bag on the bike has my clothes, pair of slippers and tools. You have to travel light when doing offroad, basically a shirt/discount underwear a day. Sleeping clothes (short/shirt) can last a few days. A warm (but thin) sweater helps as well. You wear the same riding pants/upper garment everyday (ewwww...). Dri-fit shirts are cool as you can wash and drip dry them. You can even wear them wet in the morning and it'll be dry in a few minutes.
The WR has inner tubes. I bring spare inner tubes strapped to the front fender. I bring basic tools that will allow me to remove the wheels and tires, change the tubes, spark plug, etc. Standard wrenches, screw drivers, small vise grips, super glue, duct tape, cable ties, tire irons (for removing the tire from the wheel). I also bring an electric air pump. Flashlight pa pala and extra batteries. If you have a 12v charger for your phone, the better. A multi-tool on you is mighty helpful.
My first aid kit consists of wound dressings, betadine, alcohol, medicine (colds, anti-diarrhea, anti-spasm, etc), bandages, burn ointment and lots of pain killers. Hehe. I bring some crackers and candy bars as well (no fancy energy bars please).
Some of my advise:
When you're tired, stop. You have nothing to prove.
Keep it cool on the road (or offroad).
Respect the locals. Wave, smile once in a while.
When riding through populated areas, do not rev your engine loudly.
Stop at checkpoints.
Do not bring fancy military/police calling cards. Your license alone is ok.
Make an "In Case of Emergency" Card. With your name, age, blood type, medicines, allergy and contact persons.
oh and most importantly...
Enjoy the ride.Last edited by MatthewBarton; 05-07-2013, 12:18.
