Dorset path sign After the plain, and often absent Wiltshire signage, the flamboyant Dorset ones were quite a surprise. Dorset suffers less from the horrible ableist English path restrictions than most places and is a great place to visit if you cannot backpack on foot anymore. There is always a feeling of having saved yourself a ferry fare, and the beer&#039;s better than further south.

Road, Stony Bottom What they call gravel riding now. I prefer bigger tyres than those currently fashionble - not all tracks are as kind as this and narrower tyres cut up the ground which helps promote restrictions. However there is a serpent or two in this Eden, one of which are the small flints that shred inner tubes. Many ride tubeless now. I got all the way unscathed!

Stony Bottom Typical dry dip slope valley of chalkland. Familiar from the similar Silurian limestone ridges in Shropshire and Herefordshire. The glorious descent from the summit of Win Green continues.
