Ups and downs on a bank holiday

Our annual visit to see the bluebells near Littlebury is by far the hilliest ride of the year. With the Shelfords at just 14m above sea level and Littlebury Green topping out at 118m, not to mention all the ups and downs in between, we end up climbing a total of 350m, or just over 1000 ft in old money. All the more reason to enjoy coffee and cake at Compass Courtyard.
