Thanks once again to BBN for putting this one on, with a new and considerably improved route too. I certainly prefered doing the Ampthill section anticlockwise, which gave better views of both the park and of Millbrook church. Plus the (frankly baffling) omission of Cooper's Hill from the old route has finally been corrected.
The new (to the OS) bridleway through Millbrook Warren was great too - a little bit of Thetford Forest transposed into Bedfordshire, to go with the Breckland-style section across Cooper's Hill.
