Before you set off
The Strines anchor is on Mortimer Road, not in the inn car park. Narrow blind bends, cyclists and winter conditions need care. Check current road closures, vehicle suitability and weather before travel. Driving time excludes stops and live traffic. The route follows through-roads; all visits off the line are independent optional detours.
