Yep, that's the nearest campsite.

The route is on quiet country lanes so best to describe it via the villages visited (not the Black Mountains - that's for next time).

Hampton Bishop - Holme Lacey - Kings Thorn - Much Birch - Orcop - Garway - Skenfrith - Hoarwithy - How Caple - Marcle Ridge - Woolhope - Checkley - Dormington - Hampton Bishop

It was very much a spur of the moment thing at 5.30 p.m. but I'm planning to check out the route again before the big day so will let you know.

sounds nice, i would really like to go. I'll let you know nearer the time. I'm also up for coming along to test the route

It should be a great ride, everyone that I've taken on the route has enjoyed it and no one will be left behind. The pace won't be eyeballs out but guessing not too shabby either - the main feature is that there isn't too much flat at all.

If its the route we took when Ed hosted a ride earlier in the year, Its superb !! Plenty of ascents and some cracking rolling decents I had a huge grin for ages after! I am well looking forward to this.

Currently working on the Tour De Cotswolds return route to sort for either late August or October
