Pootler

A slow and curious cyclist. I explore the countryside to the North and West of London, mainly on minor roads and good cycle paths and riding a heavy hybrid bike.
My website contains notes on the places on my routes; sights, scenery, histories and oddities.
These cannot be accommodated in the 'Komoot' format.

This route follows three river valleys; the Avon, Dun and Test, which dissect the rolling chalk hills of the Salisbury Plain and the Berkshire Downs. It ends at Newbury which is on the same train line as Pewsey. For the most part it follows quiet roads and scattered hamlets in open countryside.

This route mostly uses minor roads to tour arable and pastoral countryside and villages loved by the wealthy 'county set. It takes in some places worth seeing and some political and celebrity gossip. The hills are numerous but not steep. There are a few short off-road sections with alternatives suggested
