Route Tips from Loughton
- Most routes leave along the High Road or up Church Hill. The High Road is busy with shops, crossings and buses, so keep your speed down and your observation up.
- Golding's Hill (A121) is on most routes and runs at up to 40mph through the forest. Make progress where it is safe and slow down early for the junctions at each end.
- Many routes use the A104 Epping New Road through the forest, which is 40mph in places. Build up to the limit where the road allows and come off it smoothly.
