Ride 3

40 minutes approx

Cross the road to bridle-way 7, the entrance is in the lay-by and ride along the concrete path to wards the rear of the HSBC training centre.

Go left at the end of the concrete path onto the track,which is about 500m in length.Here youcan have a safe canter, but slow down as you
approach Drop Lane . Watch out for the ruts in the path.

Cross the road and cross the River Ver, follow the path through Willow Island.(Herts. CC have just reinstated the path) and then cross the River Colne.

Follow the path around to a T-junction and go left.

Follow this path for about 1000m (possible canters) until you come to a house & buildings on your left known as Netherwylde Farm. Recently the path has been moved away from the house, but keep going forward along this path and you will come across cottages on you left and right and continue over the bridge and up towards Radlett Road A5183.

Go left here and continue along the road for about 1000m. When you pass the entrance to Old Parkbury Estate take the lane on your left.

This lane will bring you out by Moor Mill Resturant. Go left here and left again immediately after the bridge onto Riverside Way.

Riverside Way runs parallel with the River Ver for about 1500m. (I have seen Kingfishers along here, look for them skimming the water at speed) It is possible to canter along here, but watch out for pedestrians and uncontrolled dogs not on leads.

You will come out onto Drop Lane and go left. About 100m along you will have the entrance to a bridleway on your right.

This path takes you up to the rear entrance of the HSBC training centre.

Go right at the end and along the concrete path until you reach Smug Oak Lane . The stables are opposite.
