Easy route when dry around Herts.

A couple of good up hills involved.

This is not an off-road route. It is off tarmac. Unfortunately OA does not recognise the significant difference between these two. Driving off-road is illegal in the UK unless with the owners permission, unlikely unless for money, and can result in one’s car being seized and crushed.

Tricky for big bikes when wet, but well plotted route. Quite easy on enduro bikes. Thanks for sharing.

Very difficult route with lots of fallen trees. Deep fords, lots of mud and horrendously deep puddles.
