Cotswolds - something really easy

Post by bjohnson »

Would anyone be able to recommend any trails I can try out on my multistrada, with road tyres?!
Obviously I'm not looking for anything too adventurous, but it would be really nice to pick up a few easy green lane routes between road sections to make up a good day out and try something a little different.

Here's a good idea for next weekend that includes green lanes and the Cotswolds

our Gloucester and Cotswold Edge rally locations will take you to some remote parts of Gloucestershire. It was last year but the details are here
https://sites.google.com/site/vmccsc/calendar (bottom of the page)
this years rally Getting Stoned in Gloucestershire will take you to a different set of locations here https://sites.google.com/site/vmccsc/news
next years rally will be an Armistice rally that includes some locations on the Fosse Way.If you go down the Fosse to Colerne try the loop through Northend & St Catherine's
up to Marshfield or to A46, all surfaced (almost) lanes.
East of Winchcombe off Sudley Hill towards Ford there is an unclassified road through Guiting Wood.

Thanks all, going to try the Fosseway in a couple weeks time one evening.watched a couple YouTube vids of the route from Cotswold airport going south, looks reasonably straightforward - famous last words!!!
Will there be a gpx route available that I can plug into my satnav, I'll do some more inter web surfing for route details
Or, if anyone wants to join and lead me and a mate on the route in return for a pint?!

I ran a Cotswold Capers as a roadbook navigation at the end of June - this track could be amended for an adventure bike on road tyres.

It could be GPS or Roadbook - anyone interested?
