Great greenlane/byeway

26 Aug 24. Still ok to ride. Some parts at West end bit overgrown but stinging nettles but not to bad. Track is well drained, no pot holes or ruts so good gravel track. Its a bit loose in places with some small stoney lumps on surface bit ok if you keep your attention on track. Ford is dry.

it's a great ride mostly hard packed cinder with some soft spots to catch you out. All a gentle up grade Wesr to East but a great wiz down from East to West. Just don't let the speed get out of hand and watch for loose soft sections.

Nice dip through water 10 April 24

Hatfield Forest is an ancient royal hunting forest, and considered to be one of the best-preserved medieval forests in the world. In the past, deer were kept in the forest for hunting. Today you'll find deer aplenty still, though no longer pursued for the same reason. The forest boasts ancient trees, over 3,500 species of fungi, rare insects and a diverse array of birdlife. There's also a beautiful lake, café and river that meanders through.

Fantastic view of Audley End House from Adam Bridge. Audley End is a 17th Century mansion that is known as a prodigy house, meaning that it is extra impressive. Often seen on TV on the likes of Antiques Roadshow, the house used to three times the size, if you can believe it. It's a fabulous view as you cycling past, and worth making a detour out of Saffron Walden for.

Best ridden in spring and early summer or after autumn as it gets very over grown but well worth the effort. Essentially all uphill West to East so be careful E to W as you can get quite fast and there are a few tricky narrow parts by the edge of the Fulfen Slade stream bed. At the western end you need to cross the dry stream bed which is a bit muddy and steep slope in and out but very ridable and enjoyable. Walk it if it looks too much don't risk it. Rode on 14th Oct 23 getting very narrow at the Western end for bikes in what is a long wheel rut best walked if you are not strong steering and balanced - but not long section. Tricky ride now until spring. Roos Lane entrance from Debden Road used by the farm is very muddy, slippery and pot holed so be careful. May 24 After 3 days of rain some standing water and slippery muddy sections ok if you are careful. Fulfen Slade stream bed is running quite deep. However passable today. There are stepping stones if you want to dismount and push

Ensure you stop off at the Woodman Pub, which is almost adjacent to the old 8th airforce airfield at Nuthampstead. The Woodman pub is an excellent stop and littered with history pertaining to the American aircrews who flew from there during WW2. At the back of the pub is the airfield museum which is definitely worth a visit.
