Linking Lyndoch to Seppeltsfield, this route takes you off the normal tourist routes using local farm roads that 44% feature broad acres and big skies. Autumn through to late Spring are the best times to experience this route, however if you venture off this route in Winter you are likely to get stuck in the mud if you use Hoklas Road so a detour onto Gomersal Road is recommended.
