Tursykling i England

L’itinéraire « Avenue Verte Paris-Londres » est né d’un beau projet, celui de rallier les deux capitales emblématiques par des pistes cyclables et petites routes. Il a été inauguré officiellement en 2012 à l’occasion des Jeux Olympiques de Londres.

There’s no better way to explore the stunning scenery of the North York Moors National Park than on a bike. Friendly locals are proud of the National Park’s rich history, fantastic local food, beer and brilliant bike facilities.

Scarborough - Whitby; Cinder Trail, incorporating Scarborough promenade at the beginning. The beginning of the Cinder Trail is a bit dull so we like to divert along the sea front, picking the trail up at the back of the golf course. The first half of the trail (to Ravenscar) is a gentle but almost continuous uphill stretch. Then, there’s almost no need to pedal from Ravenscar down to Robin Hood’s Bay. Don’t race down though as that area of track is very bumpy with rocks jutting out of the ground. One final uphill stretch coming out of RHB until you cross the main A171 road at Hawsker, then downhill on a paved bridleway all the way to Whitby. Whichever way you do this trail, the National Trust shop at Ravenscar is your psychological ‘reward’ point as it’s the midway mark AND the highest point of the trail with long, gradual downhill stretches of several miles in both directions. The trail is glorious on dry, sunny days and, whilst still easily navigable in bad weather, there are lots of puddles so expect to get muddy when it’s wet.

Mainly minor roads with a short gravel stretch between Elmdon and Strethall.

The text and routes in these mapping apps are based on content in my blog. Because each app is different, there are varying limits to the amount that can be imported, and while the blog is updated periodically, these imported routes are not. So I suggest that you visit the blog www.pootler.co.uk.  You will find there the latest versions of the routes and notes, but also stuff on the historical and topographical background, ranging from the changing agricultural landscape to early occupation, hillforts, the geomorphology of the chalk country and anything else that moves me. This route covers some of the upland villages in the Southern Chilterns. At just over 35 miles, it isn’t a long route, but there are quite a few climbs. It is almost entirely based on quiet and minor roads. Please ignore the analysis of surface types offered by some of the apps. They are generated by algorithms and misleading. Although some of the small roads could be better maintained, it is easy enough. The only problem might be in using the access road at Greys Court. See the Waypoint note.  For a full decsription, updates and Waypoint Notes, see my blog post at www.pootler.com  & note that some of the Waypoint labels there don't tally with those here thanks to the idiosyncracies of Outdooractive routing.
