It looks like being a bright and sunny Easter weekend – so don't waste it doing gardening or something. Get out on the bike and enjoy the spring weather.

​

Here's a short Easter-themed route for anyone in the South East. It runs from Waltham Cross* to High Easter and Good Easter in Essex, using a short burst of A-road to get clear of the M25 (but without using any motorway) and then it's brilliant B-roads and back roads all the way. Some of the minor roads are very minor, but it's all very picturesque.

​

It's a nice, short ride – easily fitted into an afternoon or morning over the bank-holiday weekend. And next week if anyone asks you, "Good Easter?" You can reply, "Yes, I went there on Saturday" and enjoy their confusion.

*I know the "Cross" comes from the Elanor Cross, rather than hot-cross buns or anything more directly Easter-based, but come on…
