Round the back of the hills to Hidcote

OK, so we do go round most of the hills but there is one that will need ascending, on bicycle or on foot! No problem, we will re-group and recover as need be at the top before pedalling on. This ride starts from the end of the Greenway near Long Marston, free parking along the road. There are quiet and scenic lanes to Ilmington, then up and along to Charingworth, Ebrington and then Hidcote Garden where we will have coffee at the Barn Cafe (no need to be a NT member to access this). Please check that your bike is in good working order, and bring a spare inner tube and water bottle. A helmet is a good idea, and cash for refreshments will be needed. I look forward to seeing you on the day.
