The Tale of Two Rivers LV

The route covers the scenic canal towpath at Dobb's Weir and the winding paths of Nazeing Meads before reaching the River Stort Navigation Path. It then heads towards Rye Meads and follows the NCN1 cycle path to Stanstead Abbots, where it rejoins the River Lea Navigation Path on the NCN61 route back to the meeting point.

Although the majority of this route travels in traffic-free areas i.e, canal towpaths and shared paths; be prepared to cycle on road at some points.

There are a few waypoints along the route where we could stop and chat, take photos or grab a coffee, if we decide that it is suitable to do so.

Please ensure that you dress appropriately for the weather for this ride i.e. thermals, waterproofs, hats, gloves, fluorescent jackets, etc. Helmets and appropriate footwear are advisable. Please also bring a D-Lock with you to secure your bicycle and some cash should we make any stops.

First-timers welcome!
