Went out today for a spot of lockdown recreation. Was very misty and a bit cold, LOADS of mud and a fair few miles given the shorter days.
Total distance 90.7 milea

Pete, I was wondering why you take the (red) longer 'lane free' route to the E near the A367 when the (pink) shorter route along that could include the little UCR between Nettlebridge and Neighbourne? I don't think I've ever ridden it, but on the map that looks like an obvious improvement to the otherwise pretty excellent looking ride.
PS, the one at the top right of the image is a lovely little lane.

The last bit down to the road is concrete.

I suspect tarmac to the house, then concrete. Still an interesting looking little lane though. Hoping Pete will know all about it as think he's local to it.
