ポットンのおすすめMTBライド

今では全く違う様子です。草木が生い茂り、走行不能、あちこちにトゲやブラックベリーが生えています。800メートルでパンク3回、ジャージは破れ、サイクルパンツには糸がほつれ、腕と脚には血まみれの傷ができました。

A great ride through the RSPB area but be aware there is only one main route north/south that bikes are permitted. Brilliant area with cafe for a coffee and cake recharge!

The Lodge is a nature reserve managed by the RSPB. It's the largest stretch of heathland in Bedfordshire. Important species that can be seen here include Hobbies, Nightjars, Ravens, Common Lizards and Natterjack Toads. There are also areas of grassland and woods, important habitat for other species. There is a visitor centre, shop and cafe.

I choose not to stop for coffee and cake as it's a little expensive and they don't accept cash. Their business so it's up to them but I choose to go elsewhere where they do accept coin of the realm.

"The church of St Lawrence in Willington is situated to the west of the village, close by the National Trust properties of the Willington Dovecote and Stables. Limited parking is available by the roadside outside the church or in the Dovecote car park." It's a very nice place. I enjoyed relaxing and taking a portion of peace of mind.

An alternate offroad link bewteen Stotfold and Biggleswade, rather than the onroad route via Henlow/Langford.

Traffic free NCN route through the countryside, very easy riding.

A nice resting place
