so last year we rode through, a bulldozer had flattened half of it in the name of the national cycleway....

do we assume/ know that this is now complete and it is effectively a gravel footpath all the way through?

Cool! That weekend looks good for me so should be there.

Cheers

Yep, will be a starter. Back yard playground, so would be a shame not to ride this one again

Pretty much gaurantee that it is a 3 lane highway by now.

Of course we might get a bit lost and take some deviations off the highway onto private land, but only by mistake of course
