This is near Kilmersdon. In spite of pushing our bikes we still manange to pick up enough bramble cuttings to get ourselves four punctures. 29/02/04 |

We pushed past the end of current clearance work but the undergrowth became impassable shortly after. We managed to manhandle the bikes off the railway formation onto the track to Batch Farm and thence onto the lane to Mells Road Station. 29/02/04 |
