A beautiful ride around the byways and small country lanes of rural East Herts. This is a modified/improved route to my other 'Wareside loop' route. It cuts down the road section in the middle by quite a bit.Time - about 2-3 hours, mostly easy going.

Easy route when dry around Herts.
Can be muddy really when wet. Doable with big bikes with knobblies even when really wet.
A couple of good up hills involved.

Some really excellent Green lanes with nothing too difficult. The Essex part of the route is superb - lots of long picturesque Green Lanes. Short Cottered Green Lane not always open.Miss out the bottom loop if you want to shorten it - a Buntingford start/end would be ideal.

Tricky for big bikes when wet, but well plotted route. Quite easy on enduro bikes. Thanks for sharing.

Very difficult route with lots of fallen trees. Deep fords, lots of mud and horrendously deep puddles.
