Portchester to Denmead circular

This route goes through peaceful countryside, has beautiful views and is mainly on quiet country roads. We go part way up Portsdown Hill, then over to Denmead where we will stop at a cafe for  refreshments before returning to Portchester via Southwick. This route is hilly in places but it's no problem if you need to stop for a rest or push your bike for a stretch - you probably won't be the only one, and you certainly won't be left behind.   Please note that unless the ground is too waterlogged, the route will go across the grass through Wicor recreation ground.
