Has Anyone Been On The Ridgeway Recently?

Does anyone know what conditions are like on The Ridgeway at the moment, especially around Uffington?

Cheers, Michael.

I've been in the area but can't really answer your question

I spent the weekend riding to the west of Salisbury. It had been drizzling most of last week and where water pools on the ridge drove roads it was mucky but rideable, terrain similar to the Ridgeway. The tracks off the ridges, especially along wood edges were mostly wet and horrible (chalk so a bit different to the Ridgeway near Uffington).

Thanks very much for that. I was in the area today with work, and managed a quick spin out before heading back. It was only about 12 miles from the B4000 to the B4001 and back. I don't usually like out and back routes, and planned not to do one, but the riding along The Ridgeway was so good I decided to just turn around. I also got to visit Wayland's Smithy, Uffington Castle and Uffington White Horse, all of which I've wanted to see for years.

Cheers, Michael.
