Bridleways and byways can be a bit of a mixed bag I find.Jmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078208384599353066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864052595440250048.post-9676796654563025662010-10-13T21:23:35.711+01:002010-10-13T21:23:35.711+01:00It's a really under-appreciated part of the co...It's a really under-appreciated part of the county, I'm glad you liked it. <br /><br />Next time you're in The Belts try taking any track that runs at right-angles to the main path. Go in the direction that leads to the natural bowl with Wimpole Hall at the bottom. The views are very good, and because The Belts are only about 200m in depth, a very quick detour from the route. The other direction can end with a look at a ploughed field, but a couple have a good view to the north.<br /><br />Harcamlow Way is a complete bust for me, even on a mountain bike. Wet, rutted by tractors and rough from horse's hooves. I first tried it about 15 years ago with 10+12 year-old boys who wanted to go to Wimpole Home Farm. After too many mudguard clearing sessions we went there & back along the A603 instead. The boys were fine, <i>I</i> was the scared one....<br /><br />.... "Their mother will <b>kill</b> me if they tell her which way we went."<br /> <br /><br /><br />It's a long way from home for me - living on the Suffolk border I don't get there very often, good to see your photos.MikeCnoreply@blogger.com
