Fulpre Survey

2XSeptember 2021 by Mary Oz

Route description

The baseline FulPre route follows roads through North Preston. The suggested alternative route takes a slightly less direct route (5.75km compared to 5km) but goes through woodland and parkland and uses quieter urban roads. The route is generally paved, with a small section of gravel in Highgate wood. The revised route adds moderate gradient descents and climbs in Highgate wood and also between Lower Bank Road and Moor Park.
