The route takes you to Blue barns farm then right, then left, to ascend the hill the "easy way" - it is a bit of a climb but not too steep. If you want to make life difficult for yourself go straight on at Blue Barns Farm and directly up the hill on the Bridleway. You miss a bit out but get a good workout. Not only is the path steep in places it is also cut up by horses. In wet weather it is a very difficult ascent due to slippery mud. In summer, when it is baked hard your wheels drop into the indentations left by horse's hooves, providing a tiring, very slow stop-go progress. Of course you could do the ride the other way round and descend the steep bit but be careful, it is very bumpy and the adverse camber tends to steer you toward the big tree on the left, about halfway down. There are also longitudinal cracks in the trail which might trap narrow wheels. great views over the valley from the top.
