This field was easy to pass through and no mud accumulating problems. The ground is fairly compact and the plants seem to eliminate mud problems. It is easy to ride though this section at speed

The back of the church has a decent off road section which has a firm surface and is easily passable. There are a couple of graveyards with some people walking about in this area

There is a decent cycleway / path on the side of the main road into Sleaford from this southern entrance. I had to go back and forward on this path as further along there was another section of terribly bad muddy fields that would have stopped the bikes transmission and just clogged the bike up

This field was terrible to attempt to ride through. Loose, wet mud massing on wheel rims, transmission, in brake calibres. Quite simply, avoid this field. I had to dismount when the bike refused to rotate the wheels anymore, then my boots instantly started massing mud, totally clogging them. No bike deserves to go through the damage what this field can do
