Circular route starting from Burnham Beaches area (free car park on Common Lane near to The Blackwood Arms Pub) leading to Bourne End, Cookham, onto Dorney Lakes, crossing the River Thames at a number of points, around urban areas of Slough, back through Black Park Country Park, Langley Corner and return. This is an Easy to Moderate (relatively flat, and easy going) ride with a mixture (50% tarmac and 50% trail) of trails (open commons and woodland) and tarmac lanes, therefore hopefully keeping the mud to a minimum, and the going quicker than usual.

Duration - 3-4 hrs (at the pace below)

Pace - 9 to 10mls/hr

Climbing - 1200ft

GPX download available from WhatsApp Group.

Beverages option at Blackpark (Black Park Cafe and Kiosk | Welcome!) County park (mile 24) cafe, and at the end at The Blackwood Arms Pub (The Blackwood Arms), for those that have time (and if there are tables available) I am planning to get a Sunday Roast, £20 full works (Roasties, Yorkshire Pud etc..)
