Today I have been mostly exploring byways

I sense...

that a set of TKC's will be on next week's shopping list

Sunday 20th March 2005

Lovely day for it...

BW043 is N51 25.165 W0 53.452
BW030 is N51 24.617 W0 53.805
BW026 is N51 24.246 W0 52.604
BW025 is N51 24.230 W0 52.323
BW024 is N51 24.221 W0 52.188

 

[Clive]

Just after BW043

 

[Clive]

Just before BW030

 

[Clive]

The area known as the Coombs - between BW030 and BW026

 

[Clive]

There was a short, uninteresting one between
BW023a N51 23.935 W0 51.577
and
BW023b N51 23.831 W0 51.317
(no photo or tracks)

 

[Clive]

BW022a is N51 23.939 W0 50.134
BW022b is N51 23.124 W0 48.906

 

[Clive]

This one started off next to a train track and fields of horses.

 

[Clive]

and ended up in a fairly large wooded area with the track surface changing to slightly tricky sand.

 

[Clive]

Next were a couple of short ones

BW021 is N51 23.000 W0 48.409
BW044 is N51 23.907 W0 48.556
BW045 is N51 24.153 W0 48.254

 

[Clive]

Midway between BW022b and BW021

 

[Clive]

Midway between BW044 and BW045 - the last few hundred yards of this was a few inches of fresh wood chippings - which was interesting to ride on

 

[Clive]

Oops - out of sequence - just leaving BW024

 

[Clive]

Two more short ones, then back over the Coombs but leaving by a different exit.

BW046 is N51 24.778 W0 52.577
BW047 is N51 25.094 W0 52.079
BW048 is N51 25.274 W0 52.136
BW049 is N51 25.081 W0 52.860
BW027 is N51 23.927 W0 53.648

 

[Clive]

Somewhere between BW048 and BW049

 

[Clive]

The final one for today - this runs very close to the A33 which is probably why Mapsource thinks it was the A33

BW050 is N51 23.357 W0 59.272
BW051 is N51 24.135 W0 58.896
BW052 is N51 24.208 W0 58.814
BW053 is N51 24.463 W0 58.504

A nice bit of shade

 

[Clive]

Clive, not been there yet but North of Thatcham looks promising,

Just been checking Explorer 158 - there seems to be a right mess of them - if the weather stays dry I may venture out that way on Sunday.
