First Sunday Stretch - Bosham

Circular route through the beautiful Hampshire and West Sussex countryside through Rowlands Castle, Westbourne, Woodmancote to Bosham and return. We are only 2 miles from Waterlooville even though we come under Winchester District Council. Includes a refreshment stop at a local tea room (fab cakes!)

This is a longer route and is not intended for beginners, however, you will not be left on your own at the back, there will always be someone with you, it is not a speed trial. There may be a few less challenging hills and you go up the hills any way you can, even if you need to walk. The route is worth the effort and very scenic. We will stop for refreshments at Bosham (excellent cakes and savouries!!) at about 15 miles.

This is an enjoyable route with plenty of opportunity to improve your speed if this is what you want. The return route is very similar (though we have to go up the naughty hill at Westbourne on the way back). Then just a few little lumpy bits on the way home.
