A short steep climb through Lardon Chase, to a high point above the Goring Gap. Then we walk west along the Ridgeway, with views across the Berkshire Downs, before turning north with wide views. Turning west we get views to the north, before descending into Moulsford, finishing with a 2 mile ramble south by the Thames to finish. Apart from first steep climb, gentle undulations.
