    fourbanger i presume you cycled the kennet and avon canal? what it the towpath like from pewsey onwards (i imagine quite overgrown compared to devizes/bath.) p.s that barge is fantastic (all barges should have a stock of sweets/chocolates e.t.c for sale 🙂

    racefaceec90, I was on the tourer so I followed Sustrans 4 which went on the back roads from Devizes to Kintbury. I’ve done that section before and it’s fine for an MTB, as dobiejessmo says really. Nice ride.

    it could only be beaten by a narrow boat selling cake
