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

This cafe has now changed management and is called Waffle and Coffee. Still has bike racks and outside seating although I did not see the bike locks last time I was there. Staff still great and the food is even better. Bacon and egg sandwich is very good. Coffee, Tea and cakes and of course waffles. Good clean toilets so well worth visiting as a rest stop.

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

Great place to stop for a toastie and coffee - also let us put our bikes inside the cafe to keep our bikepacking stuff safe!

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.

There’s currently a small log/fallen tree covering the track about halfway along. Not a huge obstacle but has the potential to catch someone out if coming downhill.

So overgrown after the recent rain it was basically impassable.

Beatuful scenery cycling out of Saffron Walden to reach Audley End.

Scenic, landscaped view where the River Cam flows in front of a stately home.

Great bends and changes in gradient but beware of concealed driveways and, if going north, a straight descent ending at a T junction means you need to be ready with the brakes.

Absolutely gorgeous bit of road, as is the whole road from Great Hormead and the Pelhams through Anstey, some of my absolute favourite roads within reach of London and huge fun when heading north towards Cambridge - it's then a false flat downhill and you can really put your head down and have fun. Just keen enough in the legs for the drag up to great Chishill that comes right after though!

If heading northbound, you can really turn the afterburners on and take this as fast as you like. Obviously use caution looking out for oncoming cars and innocent bystanders.

Lots of mud on the road at the moment and some pretty big puddles (hiding who knows what) but beautiful quiet roads...

Audley End House is a largely early 17th-century country house outside Saffron Walden https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/audley-end-house-and-gardens/

Be prepared to duck and weave through overhanging branches/thorns!

It's always busy, sells great food and coffee
