I've come down this road a few times over the 4 different seasons and with each season the character of the lane changes.
You have those nippy but sunny Spring days full with anticipation for the nice season to come, then long Summer days where you ride in the heat of the day or late in the evening, followed by Autumn, when wet and grey days alternate with those "last of the Summer" warm and sunny afternoons.

In each season these lanes are magical, but riding through here early on a cold Winter morning (even though technically Winter does not start for another couple of weeks), with the mist just about lifting and the Sun struggling to come out from behind the clouds, was something else.

As a side note, wanting to stay off the more trafficed roads, this lane (which is part of Sustrans NCN Route 23 - sustrans.org.uk/find-a-route-on-the-national-cycle-network/route-23/) is on the most convenient North-South path out of Central Reading - as others have already said, traffic is very low through here, but narrow roads precautions apply at all times.

As an additional side note, you can find a water tap on the North end of this segment, at the intersection with Lambwood Hill.
