This route joins the currently used-by-motor-traffic part of Blanche Lane to the western verge of the A1. The verge is used to go southwestwards towards the bridleway bridge over the A1. It is narrower than many riders would like, so do take care or check the verge route on foot before using it for the first time. We need a volunteer to photograph this route for this year's Access and Riding Rights of Way Survey. It's easy - just take photographs (safely) when you use the path. Find out more!

On 10 Nov 2010, we made an application to record this route for completeness as it was being used by riders and clearly carries highway rights. We now wait for it to be decided by the county council.
