Description

Building upon the first ride of the Trooper Series, this extends the reach further into the beautiful Cotswolds AONB. Passage through the historic town of Malmesbury past the Abbey ruins towards the first Info control at the Flying Monk Café & Taproom. Hullavington. If you are on a leisurely pace and want to stop, we recommend their excellent barista made coffee (cakes or even breakfasts also available). Onwards to an info control on the outskirts of Tetbury, an ancient Anglo-Saxon town built as a hill fort before making your way upwards to the full control at the Fire & Flow Coffee roastery. From this point on the elevation trends downwards with one more info control at Coln St Aldwyns before returning to Tadpole Garden Village.

Nothing too difficult, starting in Tadpole Garden Village, 3 info controls and 1 (+1 optional) coffee stops!
