07 Nov 2021Having compiled this route, and provided a review of the reason why, now having walked / surveyed the route, I want to add further comments.
The route is 13.10 mi long as recorded by GPS
The route has a large amount of paved sections on quiet roads and tracks
There are three steep sections, 1 paved out of Bath, and two : 1 down, 1 up in the Midford Valley.
The section around Broughton Gifford may have crops.
