Nice historic builing now hosting a restaurant/bar with a relaxed terasse on the upper floor. Good place for a break with a view to enjoy good weather.

An unrelenting climb eastbound, no "shelves" or "tiers" to the land, nothing. Non-stop climb. Easy breeze westbound. East of here is regular rolling country.

This path follows the beautiful River Stort Navigation canal near South Mill Lock. It’s a lovely flat trail that offers picturesque views, conveniently located just outside Bishop's Stortford.

The road fords the River Ash here near Hadham Cross. There is a footbridge for pedestrians or cyclists who don't want wet feet.

Excellent takeaway for baguettes, cakes, coffee etc. A few outside benches opposite.

This was my destination pub on my ride, a nice old-school pub with decent beers and lovely-smelling food (I was on the S&V crisps myself). Very friendly and lovely old houses in an old looking street. Apologies for my stealth interior photo, is was small and busy and felt a bit weird talking a picture inside :)
