Would the ETA at Udder Farm shop be 1030 ?

If your route is via Wilton and the A30 you will pass Fovant Badges, a popular photo spot. According to Google maps, both the A350 and A30 routes are about 60 minutes.

My plan is to leave my house just after 1000 and be at The Udder Farm shop about 1030.

Hope to see you there.

We will not be using the A350.... too boring, so will be arriving at the Udder Farm Shop around 10.45 using a route from Gillingham

See GPX files for my planned route (or you would if I could upload into our forum....)... any suggestions

I rode the route yesterday, so probably in similar conditions to those we will experience on Sunday. There was standing water, wet leaves and muck (now mostly camouflaging in my bike), but notwithstanding I think you will find it enjoyable.

We will generally be using B roads, although using A roads to link them, you will therefore need to be comfortable with the usual hazards that we will experience at this time of year.

All riders will be responsible for their own decisions, in terms of attendance on the ride, their riding / actions on the day.

We will of course be using the drop off system, so there is no need to ride beyond your own capabilities, you can enjoy the ride at your pace, you won't get lost of left behind

Our first stop in the Udder Farm Shop (what3words ///sprinting.launcher.parties)
