    Tips

    Cycling

    About fifteen years ago I got my cycling legs on this stretch between Maiden Newton and Frampton. The Maiden Newton to Notton section is largely tarmac with a section of farm trail which isn't terrible but is gated. Notton onwards it becomes a little bit more interesting. Avoids the not too bad but twisty main road.

    In Notton there is a field prone to flooding which will rarely get iced over in the winter. Local kids have been known to skate there.

    This section of National Cycle Route 26 (and as such very well signposted) is very quiet - I passed one car and an off-road motorcycle. It is now predominantly dressed with chippings other than a few small sections passing through farmyards that are concrete.

    Off road and traffic free. Quite a few gates and can be a bit rough in winter - mud & gravel.
    There can be some significant flooding. Couple of v.short steep sections.
