Off-Road Route to Norton Woods

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Saves going up Norton Lane, good surfaces most of the year don't need a mountain bike but probably some grippy tyres in places

Highlight • Viewpoint

Was nice to see the Hod from a distance. On a hike route I'd done Hambledon and Hod on same day, in really bad conditions. worth a go up there

Nice easy going route from Blandford to Sturminster Newton, running along old railway line. Very easy going gravel.
