Although it is a calm hamlet at a junction of roads, between the few houses here you immediately start out quite steep. So steep that even with my gravel gear I had trouble with it. The road soon turns into a typical English hollow road: man-sized hedges or stone walls left and right, and very narrow. As soon as you see some more light and have more views, it flattens out and you end up on the moor. Then you can continue a little further before the tarmac ends. Very quiet, but otherwise not very special.
Hoewel het een kalm gehucht is op een kruising van wegen, start je hier tussen de paar huizen meteen flink steil. Zo steil dat ik zelfs met mijn gravelverzet er moeite mee had. De weg gaat al snel over in een typische Engelse holleweg: links én rechts manshoge heggen of stenen muren en erg smal. Zodra je wat meer licht ziet en meer uitzicht hebt, vlakt het af en kom je op de heide uit. Dan kun je nog een klein stukje verder voordat het asfalt ophoudt. Heel rustig, maar verder niet heel bijzonder.
