Muddy Dirt Track Near Barkestone

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

From Barkestone end it starts off with tarmac before becoming groad for a bit until after passing over the canal at which point has deep channels. Ridden in a wet November with very deep puddles. Probably better for mtb but gravel bike copes fine.
