Didn't want to do the shopping thing so I whipped out my Explorer 159, loaded the GPS with several start/end Byway waypoints and ventured out into deepest Berkshire...
Today I have been mostly exploring byways
- Thread starter Clive
- Start date
BW005 is N51 21.490 W1 07.720
BW006 is N51 21.917 W1 07.732
Started out promising - fresh deep gravel leading over a small bridge/stream - surface shortly got much better and ended up by a fishing lake and industrial estate (didn't bother going back for a photo of the bridge

Nice one Clive.......you're still one of the very few who use their 12gs as it's supposed to be used 
If you're at Land's End, I've got a nice little fords ride planned for us.....and I promise not to drown you this time

I'm planning to be there and looking forward to the fords ride.
I'm also planning to find a spare Sunday afternoon between now and then to make up a snorkel
Clive, not been there yet but North of Thatcham looks promising,
I was hoping to use a mates 4x4 to check out ones near me, but seems you have done most of them for me.

Clive said:This byway had a bit of a tricky bend in it full of soft mud and water - this was followed by a load of dumped large gas cylinders (not really easy to get to - why here)
Cos the local pikeys left them there - be careful exploring any tracks near the water tower in Burghfield Common!
Or anywhere in Burghfield really, used to muntain bike over the common going over to Mortimer and lots of fly tipping and dumped cars, amazing some of the stuff that was dumped.
Amazing, people say the pikeys are lazy, but the amount of crap they have left in this area means that some of them must be working hard at it. It's not as if there are that many of them either.
The local landowners, and in particular Englefied Estate, must be cheesed of with it. The more barriers they build, the more inventive the pikeys get - like a sort of arms race!
Sorry to hijack your thread Clive! By the way you missed out a vital waypoint on the mad with Mortimer West End on it - the Red Lion pub, source of good food, and for those interested in it, good beer as well. Allegedly.
