The by-way between Ridgeway Farm and Pitlands Farm is closed this week (24-28th Aug) for 'maintenance'. This is the one with the rocky steps as you head from Ridgeway Farm down to the stream at the bottom, followed by the steep climb out to Pitlands Farm. I presume the 'maintenance' will mean that the steps will be removed and the trail flattened to make it easier to drive/ride up?
They've also flattened the short section here.
