Description

Because of the major roadworks disrupting ElsFul One, I created this version, staying north of the motorway, by using a section of canal. I have also used quiet roads and farm lanes for some of it, because the field footpaths in this area are often poorly maintained and signposted, and can be very wet and muddy for a lot of of the year. This route is also slightly shorter
