グレート・ストートン（ハンツ）でののおすすめツーリングルート

A small memorial and marker stone set back from the road in a lay-by on the edge of the old airfield.

A well stocked shop and pub which is the perfect place for a cycle pitstop. No worries about queues, locking up bike etc.... Bench seating outside the pub with some shade from the trees. Minimal detour even if you're on the lap of the reservoir

Tough hill heading north then into some beautiful rollers

The Roller Coaster... a very enjoyable descent 👌

Ride with caution, mountain bike may cope better than my hybrid did.

Don't follow Komoot strictly (like I did) 😉 - obey the signs from farmer/landowner & NCN signs - small mistakes can be forgiven, I suppose, when we new to the area.

Steepest from the southern side. Not long - only climbs 25m - but the gradient steadily ramps to over 14% as you approach the summit. Best done with a short, sharp effort out of the saddle.

The cycle path along the top of the dam is wide and flat and gives great views across the reservoir. Reach it from the Visitor Centre at the northern end although access at the southern end is trickier as you have to squeeze through a narrow gap next to a locked gate by the main road.
