All the above are in the danger area's,so range open info is required.

a bit of range road (it is legal to use the made up gravel tank roads)-
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X...9844&A=Y&Z=120
and coming out on the main road here-

All the above links are B.O.A.T's (byways open to all traffic) and are all suitable for novice riders using any type of tyre and in any weather.If it is wet though....your bike will get very dirty
.
And a bit to the South is the "Old Shaftesbury Drove"...again suitable for novice/road tyres with only a couple of slippery sections along it's whole length...well worth it for the views.

And if the climb up White Sheet Hill (at the Western end) does not put a smile on your face...nothing ever will.
Cheers,
Andy.
