The Admiral McHilly (15 miles) and Chelmer (6 miles) Trails

After following the Admiral McHardy Trail for two years we decided to explore a little more and for the next four years found you 700 feet of climbing and descent (all in the middle third) still utilising the trail to and from Danbury Hill. Last year we changed the route there and back and the hilly section, but still got you over 700 feet of climb again. Guess what we have found an extra 200 feet of climb for you. Enjoy.

Please note this is a hilly event and we hope to provide drink stations, but always advise carrying some refreshment of your own.
