There's no evidence that there were alternative British forces on the Iknield Way - Boudica's army seems to have kept together. They could have split up and sent a force circling around to the north-east, but if the Britons had the capability to make these sort of long-distance strategic flanking marches, any position in south-east England would be vulnerable.
Absoloutely - the interesting point about the site at Tring is that even if it is encircled it is easily defended and also acts as a springboard. On the one side that the position might be slightly vulnerable you have one of the sections of Grimms Ditch....
