Looking at the published map there appears to be a small detour into Balsham. Does this indicate a stop at The Old Butcher's Shop?

ALL

If you have already downloaded the route, I have just made a minor adjustment and have replaced the map in the first section of this thread. Apologies if you have already downloaded it, could you please replace the previous version with the one above on your Sat Nav. Apologies and thanks

I've been looking at the published route in a bit more detail and note that it takes us through Langleys Deer Park in Great Waltham. It looks like the electronic map has got it wrong again as this is public footpath on a gated metalled road that I do not believe is a public road for motor traffic.

I part rode the route for next Tuesday this afternoon and have made some further improvements to the route

This is the route we will be using - and it will not be changing again!
