Brit Butt Tour 2020
- Thread starter FazerPhil
- Start date
Some of you might recognise Dungeness lighthouse (the old one, the new one is behind me)
On the way back from this I experienced what Hastings laughably describes as a "ring road" - golly, what fun. A tour of the back streets probably marginally more town centrey than the official town centre route, complete with unmarked turns, potholes and general "why am I here" sensations.

KGS St Mullion Golf club. I find the bike makes a handy hanger for the flag and I'm less likely to leave it behind!!!!
06S Rame Church
06C Fort Bovisand LH This is a pic of the gate and fort. The road to the lighthouse around the corner was closed off.
03D Overbecks.NT No sign of the sign. I reckon it has been renewed
03H Mill Bay NT The NT plaque and as not obvious I'd love to know if anyone found it
If you wondered... I load my full sized pics to The Photobucket App and put a link in the post.
Cornwall/Devon cornwall is always a challenge in the winter. Too often the sat nav will take you up a single track road which is a shorter than the main road as it has the same speed limit and it thinks it's faster too. Which it is not.
Those roads and into some of the dead ends are covered in mud washed off the banks and tracked from the field by the locals. And to cap it all there are blind/steep hairpin bends covered in water filled potholes so you can't see how deep they are.
I don't want to give too much away and spoil your fun.
The good news is there was not much traffic and though it was a bit dank it stayed dry.
SDoc 100 soon clears that up.

As the person who selected the BBR19 bonuses, now the BBR20 tour, I find myself wincing at the conditions people are riding through. Please remember that it was meant to be a challenging ride at a time of the year when days are warmer and longer. Riding some of these bonuses in January is upping their difficulty level considerably.
The Spaceguard centre near Knighton (not Kenton) can be accessed from two directions, both are paved, but one had grass growing in the middle when I visited it last April. I suggest therefore that you approach it from the Knighton direction,
I am very impressed with the enthusiasm being shown in the pursuit of the bonuses so early in the year, but maybe the ride will be a little more pleasant and scenic when the weather warms up. You are of course all old enough to make your own decisions, just be careful on that pig slurry.
