FBC to Redfields Garden Centre

We will make our way to Finchampstead Church, down to Eversley Cross, up Coopers Hill, round the outskirts of Fleet to Crookham village then Redlands Garden Centre. We then make our way back to Crookham village along the side of the canal, Hartley Whitney, Phoenix Green, West Green, Hazeley Bottom, carefully cross Reading Road and up Plough Lane to cross into Bramshill Forest and return to FBC.

The route is mostly on quiet lanes, with a couple of short sections on slightly busier roads, along the canal and tracks back through Bramshill. We will be going up Coopers Hill & Plough Lane the rest is undulating, everyone will be ok and we will always wait for anyone.

We will stop at the big garden centre near Fleet which has lots of lovely items to distract us and plenty of delicious cakes and savouries to enjoy

Helmets are compulsory, please also bring a drink, spare inner tube or 2, bike lock (if you have one) and card/money for the cafe. Please make sure your chain is lubricated, brakes are working and tyres are correctly inflated - makes cycling much easier!

Due to the hills, this route isn't recommended to ladies who are just starting to cycle.
