Hi
Can anyone recommend a cycle route to Buntingford that avoids as many roads as possible?

| Yes, there are plenty of routes on OS Explorer 194. You have bridleways via Dane End, Mundens and Aspenden, or via Latchford, Standon, Braughin, Hay St... Just get the map - possibly rent it at the library(?) Also, check Google Maps for freebie method.... |

| Cuthbert. If you can let me know your e-mail address, I'll try and e-mail you a couple of maps showing 2 off road routes to Buntingford, one that passes by the East side of the town and the other to the West. I tried to copy and paste them onto this reply, but it didn't work. The forum admin people can let you have my e-mail address. |

If you click on the icon with the envelope on it you will be able to mail each other directly, check your profile that "Allow forum members to send you e-mails" is set to yes. |

Post them to share on Ware Online so we can all benefit from the routes. I fancy doing that trip too.

Now I am a towny but have recently been donated a bike - first time on a bike for over 40 years and loving it. I'm venturing far and wide and am confused by some of the signs I see in the countryside.
(Before the thread goes off on one about consideration for others [again!!] I'm sure we are all aware that there are incosniderate folk out there and we all have our ideas how to deal with them.)
Cycling on footpaths is illegal, so I don't do that unless there are specific permissions so to do - anyway there are lots of obstacles. Cycling on bridlepaths, that's Ok, so I do that. Cycling on byways - I guess that's Ok too. Towpath is Ok - see note re consideration of other above.
Some of the signs I see, particularly in the Sacombe area are paths with County Council signs which point along a route which has also been signed by the local landowners as 'Private - Keep Out'. This confusion doesn't seem to exist around Easneye where the County Council signs are not at odds with local landowner signs.
Anybody else find this anomolous? |

Are you sure that they are not just public foothpaths or public bridleways? You can't cycle on the former but I'm not certain about the latter. |

Something like this page?
www.wareonline.co.uk/tourism/cycling.asp
I've got the maps from redrich382 which I will add to this page.
If others can submit routes, please send them through. |
