Marchi Survey

4XAugust 2022 by Brian

Route description

Another alternative route from Marshfield to Chippenham. This route removes the non public-right-of-way section through North Woods from marchi one, and also avoids the (temporarily?) difficult footpath around Lucknam Park. There are pubs in Ford and Biddestone as convenient places to break your walk.
