Testing the NCN R45 Diversion

we will be starting in Old Town and following R45 via the Old Town Railway Path till we get to West Mead the following the diversion as suggested on the Swindon Travel choices web Site
https://www.swindontravelchoices.co.uk/2023/07/closure-of-ncn-route-45/ On our return we may explore a westerly route for riders who may not wish to go so far out of their way

because of an impending long term complete closure of a very popular section of the National Cycle Network Route 45 via Shaw Forest it has been necessary to divert riders and walkers via route to the east. Our ride is to acquaint Ride Leaders and other cyclists with the diversion

Residential roads and Cycle Paths

we can vote on going into the cafe at Morrsion Haydon Wick to discuss our findings

Helmets are advisory, bring a spare inner tube and pump , phone and perhaps card or cash for a stop
