ブレッドハースト周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

素晴らしい景色ですが、テクニカルなライドで、Pilgrim Wayの路面は整備されていません。しかし、乾燥した日であれば、最低35mmタイヤのグラベルバイクで走行可能です。40mm以上がより適切でしょう。雨の日は避けるべきです。

As said in a previous post, there are section of this route that are stunning as it runs along the ridges of various valleys on it's way to Winchester and beyond on the section I did from Canterbury to Guildford many parts were incredibly muddy and very hard to traverse even on a gravel bike.

The Pilgrims way is an excellent long distance off road route, however due to it being a bronze age track way over a couple of thousand years some parts of it have become hollow ways and are essentially impassible or very heavy going in wet conditions, at worst it's only traversable by mountain bike in wet periods.

The Dirty habbit at the foot of the climb provides refreshing hill accompaniments

This is NOT a path for the faint hearted! It's rough, very bumpy in parts, slippery when wet. I ride a hybrid - and it's not a path I would take again. It needs a specialist mountain bike.

One of my favourite climbs in the area (alongside Coldblow Land further west). From corner of Pilgrims Way it is 1km to the top. Becomes prgressivley steeper, the final ramp is around 20% gradient.

Brutal, brutal climb. Took the life out of me once you're 20%+. To make things worse, if you're wanting to stop, its difficult to do so as cars are coming up and down the road. I didn't stop but this isn't for the weak. However, it's largely 5-7 miles of descending afterwards and the climb is only extremely difficult for a short period.

Be careful re speed; with the narrow roads, I had a tractor come straight down towards me. Had to turn around and go in the direction of the tractor as there was no space. Good views and if you're looking to get out of the city, doesn't get much better and quieter than this!
