Itinerary description
Green lanes in Hertfordshire: most are easy with the odd one being more difficult if it has rained recently. One lane in particular had water as deep as the top of my front fender and close to going into my air intake. I stopped many times to take in the scenery so its achievable in far less time. There is also a cafe at the start point as well as a bakery halfway through the ride.
Enjoy......

Some nice green lanes, fairly flat but slippery when wet.
A section in a field turns right and goes uphill.
Don't stop if it's wet as its hard to get traction again.

Nice route with some wide open trails allowing you to go a bit faster safely. If it's rained recently some parts are very slippery. Some of the trail has been damaged by large 4x4's and created some really nasty ruts but makes for a little more fun!

Beautiful round trip! Thanks a lot for putting this together - very well done. Great scenery and a good variety of lanes (fields, forest trails, some sand, loose rocks, climbs and descents, water crossings...). I did it in the dry but, as others pointed out, think it could be slippery when wet. Went on an old Africa Twin - no problems.
NOTE: Two of the byways near Debden are now closed to all traffic! That's Sampson's lane and Green Croft Lane.
