Elstree & Borehamwood to Potters Bar
A fairly direct route making the most of wooded footpaths and quieter streets at both ends, with field boundaries, a golf-course edge and a track under the M25. There is around a mile to a mile and a half alongside the noisy A1 and plus a stretch of road without a verge; a few muddy patches and a tunnel under the motorway that may flood. Follows part of Cycle Network 12; South Mimms services, passed en route, has all facilities and picnic benches for a break. Passes Elstree Studios.
Time: 3h–6h30
Lunch: South Mimms services, passed en route, has all facilities.
Warnings: Follows a busy road for a sixth of the walk. About a mile and a half is spent alongside the noisy A1 (on a safe cycle path), and there is a half-mile stretch of road with no verge; the tunnel under the M25 may flood occasionally.
