Détails de l'article
Voici comment l'éditeur présente ce titre sur son site :
Guidebook to 12 of the best gravel bikepacking routes in the South and East, including the Cantii Way, exploring forest tracks, bridleways and quiet lanes over 1 to 5 days. The cycle routes are suitable for beginner and experienced MTB and gravel-bike riders, are easily accessed by public transport, and are well served for accommodation and facilities.
Seasons
Most routes are accessible all year round but avoid the wet days of winter when the ground can be churned up.
Centres
All routes are easily accessed by public transport and can be reached from London by train within 1 to 2 hours.
Difficulty
Areas like the Chilterns, the Surrey Hills and Kent Downs offer challenging singletrack descents and hike-a-bike sections, while the Suffolk Heathland and Essex routes, while no less beautiful, are less challenging.
Must See
The heathland of the Suffolk Coast; Surrey's rolling hills; Epping Forest’s technical singletrack; the iconic White Cliffs of Dover; the bleak charm of the exposed beach at Dungeness; dozens of ruined castles and countless country pubs; views from Brightstone Down to the Needles on the Isle of Wight
The cycle routes are suitable for beginner and experienced MTB and gravel-bike riders and range between 69 and 249km (40–155 miles) in length. All routes are easily accessed by public transport and close to London.
