ファーヌー・ペラムのおすすめライド

Brilliant cafe in High Easter - great place for a cafe stop on a ride through Essex. Well worth checking out

Great stop for breakfast, coffee or something more substantial

Best traversed southbound for a bit more momentum and fast downhill on Anderson's Lane into Great Hormead. If travelling north, once you climb up Anderson's Lane (not for the faint of heart), there's roughly about the same amount of climbs/downhills as southbound, but it's harder to get any momentum. The wind is a factor here as well, with little foliage.

You need to be fit to cope on this stretch southbound, especially during work hours. Northbound is infinitely easier. Even as an experienced rider, I find the winding uphill stretch between Manuden Lodge and Hazelend Lodge unnerving if there's a car (or a queue of cars) up my arse, itching to get past. The road narrows and is sunken there and the oncoming traffic merrily flies down at 50-60 mph-odd. The queue behind you flies past you as you get onto the slight plateau up near Hazelend Lodge. It's a rule that there's ALWAYS a car up your arse here - that's my experience anyway.

Great breakfast here every day

Great breakfast served every day. Friendly staff.

great place to grab a drink and something to eat ☺️

Not for the faint of heart northbound, in terms of both the steepness and traffic rushing by (and darting back into your path as they see a car coming the opposite way). A pleasure to fly down southbound, though watch for the road surface, as it's not entirely smooth.
