OMG this was fearful

Let my post not discourage any mappers :D

My mistake to think of taking traces in the night because days are hot . I was at begining afraid of police who ask every 'tom dick n harry ' about where what anyone is doing outside house .

Well the wonderfull thing is was greeted by almost a barricade on the road with the police jeep parked perpendicular to the road . I went on with a confidence stare ignoring them . Luckily they did the same :)

I was going on a mototrcycle and I hate it when I reach end of the road because I need to turn back which is irritating and also makes lot of noise . At one remote end of the road as I was about to turn back .. a chill went on my spine when a dog started barking loudly ( that was very sudden and in middle of peaceful night ) needless to say I reversed immediately but to my dismay I was not on a low gear and the bike stopped . The dog was still barking .. huh staarted and got the hell of the road .

Then as I was going through one road which was bumpy I almost lost control and bike skipped but could get it straight .. I felt the need for a drink and went to a main road and all shops were closed .

I then went on a path which looked long on google satellite view .. I really should trust my life to google satellite view . I was expecting a bumpy road and yeah its the same no gravel bumpy road .

As I was going on this road at one point I heard a dog shout in front . I tried to put a brave face and moved forward to realise that it was A BIG mistake. Its not ONE dog . It was 25 stray dogs in a pack !! They all started barking . Some even came close to bite me . I advanced on the bumpy road .

The dogs were still following me . my hope on google satellite imagery that the road was straight so I need not slow down because the dogs decreased to 8 .. I was going on 40 kmph which was the max possible on the bumpy road .I moved on to hear only 2 dogs close . I went on till I could find a right turn .

finally took the turn and came home .. had enough :D

@nmixter : best way to anonymously map is via satellite view of yahoo which for my place is of zoomlevel 9 or 10 !

Going at nights is one right way to be anonymous but the time_slot is unfortunately reserved for dogs lol
