Wide, hard-pack trail between the trees. Several gnarly roots poking through so keep your eyes peeled! With either direction on this track, there is a climb to get over Telegraph Hill.

There's a steeper incline on this segment, which makes for a great flowing descent if you are heading NE toward Pirton. Alternatively a good climb heading SW, steady does it!

Caution at Pirton Road at the bottom, it's a close-pass waiting to happen, so use the track at side of the road then nip straight over to Wood Lane.

A great hardpack trail on a steady incline, few roots and ruts to spice it up. Telegraph Hill is the peak of the segment.
Short punchy climb and long flowing descent heading NE or a long steady climb heading SW.
Caution on Pirton Road (at the NE end of segment), its a close pass waiting to happen. So use the track at side of the road for about 50m then either:
cross over to Wood Lane for Pirton or
turn right onto Chiltern cycleways for Great Offley
