That's a lot of pushing a fully-laden bike uphill, on rough ground - must have been really hard work. I wonder why you had to push? And go around the barrier, rather than through it? Still, I guess it's easiest to respect their cause and get through as quickly and smoothly as possible. In case you were wondering (which I know you were) - the calorific value of petrol is about 33 megajoules per litre, whereas for rice pudding, it's only about 3.5 megajoules per litre. 😊
And yes, I don't quite understand the reason for the pushing it through but, like you say, I totally respect their cause and I was entirely grateful to be let through. Whatever that say was fine by me.
Thanks for sharing Henry. Best wishes for the next leg. Ride safe, Stephen.
Thanks so much Stephen!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! So what you're saying is I'm better off eating rice pudding than petrol?
