CYCLE COURSE MAP

The purple route on this map details the cycle course for the Bastion.

The Courses

The three (60km) loop bike course represents arguably the toughest Iron Distance route on offer in the UK with around 2,700 metres of ascent. The circular route itself will take competitors out of Hever Castle, up through the village of Markbeech and the High Weald of Kent before passing through Hartfield and over the Ashdown Forest and into the village of Maresfield.

Competitors will then retrace their steps to the top of the forest before returning to Hever via the historic and quintessentially English villages of Groombridge, Fordcombe, Penshurst, Chiddingstone Causeway and Bough Beech.
