Scheduled to go between 04:00 and 04:30 Sunday. Audible alarms to sound 15 & 10 minutes prior, with a gunshot 1 minute before to scare roosting birds. Yes, really. Number of road closures will be in place. Also, I am told a section of the 34 will be shut. Northmoor Trust are charging for car parking at the Clumps, likely to be busy, and on-road parking is impossible up there.
I’ve suggested to the Mrs up on the Ridgeway by East Ilsley. I’ll be in bed. Take your bike & have an early morning ride after the action. Nice loop from the car park there, along the Ridgeway dropping down towards Cholsey then returning via lanes & bridle ways thru Astons, Blewbury, Hagbourne, railway line towards Upton, over to Harwell , under the 34 and then climb back up to the Ridgeway.
