Route description
This route is a hybrid of the other routes, taking the direct route from Bath to Dundas Aquaduct and then following the canal to Bradford On Avon. I think this represents a good compromise, sticking to well used paths all the way while being significantly shorter than simply following the canal. It does, however, include the steep section out of Bath and down Brassknocker hill to the aquaduct, so will not be suitable for all.
