Possible Route: From the Carrington Arms follow the Twyford Road through and out of the village. After about a mile, at a sharp right hand bend, fork left into a gated road (Cars to continue via Twyford and Burrough on the Hill). Go through three gates (please close them after you) and after the third turn left into Thorpe Statchville. After approx. 300 yds, turn right into Bakers lane, then right at a T junction. At the top of the hill there is a rough cross roads; turn right through the field gateway onto a well defined bridleway/field road (Burrough Hill Fort is straight ahead). Go down the hill, cross the road at the bottom and straight on up the bridle path towards Burrough Hill. Go through the handgate and after 25 yds veer off the main path very steeply up to the CHECKPOINT. Cross the hill fort, go through the car park and straight on to Somerby village. In Somerby go through the village past the two pubs and bends to a T junction. Turn right, and after a short distance fork right/straight on to the hand-over on Loddington Road (G.R 782103) |
