Wessex Way
The Wessex Way captures the essence that is off-roading in England’s green and pleasant southern counties. A landscape of remote download that never fails to impart a rich sense of freedom. It is a ride of epic statistics – the longest off-road, coast-to-coast ride in England, comprising a week`s trail-blazing that traverses the breadth of the ancient kingdom to which it is dedicated. Yet it is far from being tough.Although one of the longer routes it’s also one of the easiest. No need for you to be a free-ride whiz-kid, pulling wheelies on a whim, bunny-hopping boulders with the greatest of ease and taking air like a Red Arrow pilot on a practice sortie. 250 miles at a steady 700’ across southern England, over sumptuous, undulating landscapes make this ride a uniquely scenic experience. In the summer, in the dry, a fit rider could blitz the Wessex Way in four or five days, but in a wet winter the same rider may take a full week. This Guide contains 10 pages of mapping; route cards with detailed route instructions; information of where to stay, bike shops and rail access; technical tips from experienced off-road tourers; and is ridden and researched with local mountain bikers.
