Arger Fen Ford

Highlight • River

Quite Slippery and Lots of Pot Holes both sides of the Ford. Very Quiet and Scenic Spot.

Tip by

Heavy rain the day before I went past this one, so it was about 30cm deep and running fast, took the pedestrian option instead on my gravel bike.

It's a relatively steep descent down, so one to get prepared for.
