Can anyone with more knowledge than me, tell me why this route goes on the A20?
When you get to the top of Exedown, the obvious thing to do seems to be to go Knock Mill Lane, St Clere Hill and then Knatt's Lane, to get onto the Knatt's Valley descent higher up.
The only thing I can think of is that the original routemaker really wanted the scary descent of Botsom Lane in the dark?
I'm planning to ride this next Saturday morning with a friend and have always wondered about this section.
