Not likely to be very hilly.Something slightly different tonight, heading up to Scutchamer's Knob on the Ridgeway. This round bank now surrounded by trees is the remains of an iron age round barrow that became the shire moot during the Middle Ages. Out via Charlton and route 544 we'll take the Ginge Farm track to the East Hendred road and then turn uphill to climb steadily to the Ridgeway. After some exploration, we'll descend to East Hendred, and then take a metalled path across to West Hendred. We'll climb back up to Ginge and then return to Grove via Betterton, Ardington and Lains Barn. Some steady climbing and three long descents all in 18 miles. |
