Riding up the Salmah Plateau was steep and challenging but the hours of riding after that also had some challenges! It was by far the most difficult riding I ever did, and I learned so much from it! New techniques, skills and practice will surely help when I continue my solo ride around the world when I'm reunited with Basanti again!
So these are the beehive tombs
and they reckon they are about 3000 years old
3000?
Yeah, but their history is lost, nobody knows why they are here
or what they were used for
Can we have a peek inside?
Yeah, sure
Good afternoon, welcome back to the channel
Today I am riding again with Peter from Oryx Adventures
because Basanti is still not here
So we are riding now on the Selma plateau
We reached the top
with this amazing view
and now we are going to find a way back down
which is a little bit easier to get down
not so steep and not too many curves
So let's go
And I'm back
and I'm in the Oryx range
and I'm very proud to be a part of this
and I feel like I've got a great run
and they're very very deep
and I think they're going to be important
for climbing the mountains
and for saving the earth
Do you want to have a peek inside?
Yeah, sure!
It's a little bit nodgy
Bit of a crawl in
They've all got this opening
All of them have got one opening, just like this
As I said, we've never found any remains in any of them
Or artefacts
No one has got any idea of what they are for
Yeah, I don't think I'm going to crawl in there
It's the hardest part of the whole day!
Hello there!
Oh, there's some camels!
Yoohoo!
We are back!
We are back in the car
Back at the car
Peter is now loading the bikes up
I am knackered
I am extremely exhausted
It was really rough riding today
Today was the most difficult one we did so far
But it was amazing
Super awesome ride
The scenery was, again, beautiful
And I never imagined myself being able to ride on roads like these
So, yeah, I think really the other two days of riding paid off
Because if we would have come here on day one
I would have been really afraid the whole time
And it wouldn't have been so fun
So, Peter is going to load up the bikes
And then we go back to Muscat
Awesome day is finished
I hope you liked this video
If you did, please give me a big thumbs up
And subscribe down below
And I'm really hoping that in the next video
You'll see me unpacking Basanti
Fingers crossed!
