About This Route

 

The route out of Reading is not the most scenic. Instead of taking the cycle path alongside the A33 Relief Road, some people prefer to take the cycle path along the River Kennet which avoids having traffic a couple of metres to one side and also a few turnings where the cyclist needs to take care of any vehicles turning off. Personally, I find the Kennet cycle path narrow with blind corners and over-hanging trees. Take your pick!

In general, the route follows the Sustrans National Cycle Network (NCN) Route 23, from Reading to Basingstoke, but deviates from it in a few places, such as where the Sustrans route quite unnecessarily insists on taking a muddy track or decides "a little detour would be nice at this point".
