RG28

Whitchurch, Laverstoke and Freefolk

A small town and two villages in a river valley, at the outer limit of the patch. Three places, and we go to all three.

Whitchurch sits at a crossroads with narrow approaches and a market square that traffic has to squeeze through, so a car stopped in the wrong spot backs the whole town up. The B3400 out towards Laverstoke and Freefolk runs beside the water with soft edges and a drop into the ditch on the far side. Watercress beds and low-lying road mean standing water, and standing water hides potholes deep enough to bend a rim rather than just flatten a tyre. Farm and mill traffic keeps stone on the tarmac.

Bent a rim in a flooded pothole? A tyre alone will not seal it. Say what happened and we will come prepared for both.
