Report

I believe this is the first submitted attempt at this route. The weather was favourable for the first few hours, but turned humid on the approach to ivinghoe beacon, with thunderstorms gathering a couple of miles to the north. The sun came out for the last couple of hours, which was lovely if hot!

Good conditions on the trails, but there was a charity walk along the ridgeway happening on the same day, which meant the trails were quite sloppy from Wendover to Risborough. I carried all water with me, total of 2L (x2 spare soft flasks carried in my pack). Food was also carried with me (maurten, velo forte, crystallised ginger), and this proved plenty. 

I wasn’t particularly well rested, and fitness isn’t fantastic at the moment with a 10 month old in the house, but it was an enjoyable route and good to have a go. This time can very easily be topped, so good luck to you!
