Report:Unfortunately the van to take us to Avebury was not available and an alternative arrangement was used. Only 3 riders set off from Overton Hill at 12:30 and found the going generally quite good for the Ridgeway with very little mud. The section arround Liddington Castle was however deeply rutted with an overgrown section making progress difficult. After a pint at the Shepherds Rest (Fox Hill) the trio continued on very good paths arriving in Wantage at 17:30 | ||
