They'd have to be good to beat the Golf Course run, but what are the 2 near the arrow here like

And, what's the best way of crossing the moor top near Roman Camp without sinking up to my bike stem?

cheers

It's a bit boggy over there.

This is a good one though.

This is what it looks like on the steep bit.

Mmmm, yes, "The Gully" - rode down that a few years ago, stopped to gather myself at the bottom and branded my calf with a red hot shimano rotor.

Planning on riding that again, but definitely need to cross that moor. Both previous occassions have ended up in swearing and bog, the OS map shows a clear path across, but I'm buggered if I can find it

The lower of those two tracks is mainly rideable but hard to follow on the ground.
