A fairly quiet day on the A34. This is near the site of "Rizla Ridge" one of the sections of the famous Newbury bypass protests, the "third battle of Newbury" whilst being built in 1996. It follows the line of the former Didcot-Newbury-Southampton railway line, preventing that useful link from ever being reopened.

The bypass bridge is visible on the left. To the right, looking north across the valley towards the Church and the Enborne Road.

Dist:0.2km<br/>I am standing with my back to the A34. This is one of those places where the actual GPS reading shows that I am on the road, due to the width of the road as it appears on the OS map.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The path drops down to the hamlet through this field. There is supposed to be an OS trig point here, but I could not find it. Update - March 2012. A correspondent tells me that it is buried in the hedge at the roadside just beyond the start of the path, in other words off to the right of this picture.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Where Elizabeth Road meets the A343, in the north eastern corner of the square. This square is largely residential. These dwellings are more or less typical of those in the streets in this section of the square.
