    I live close to this section. It’s known as the longest Ford in Europe. It is pretty much a river most of the time. It’s not a very good option at all for any cyclists. If you’re caught out on this section there is a path that runs along the top of the east bank. You’ll need to climb to get out. My advice is avoid this completely just like all the locals do.

    Use caution when going through here, whether on foot or cycle. I'm willing to wager that we'd need to be in drought conditions for it to be passable. When I went through in August 2020, there were four or more large puddles in the middle section, which were shin-deep and basically fords. No way could vehicles even get through them. If you *must* use this route, take the parallel footpath instead. Overall though, give it a miss and head north/south via Stocking Pelham.
