Romsey to New Forest

We leave Romsey via Fishlake Meadows, Shootash to Wellow where we cross over into the New Forest starting at Canada Common. We stay on the road through Furzley, a long gradual uphill to cross Roger Penny Way where we hit the gravel tracks for a while. We head back via quiet roads through Bartley, skirt north of Totton to approach Romsey from the South onto Lee Lane, Romsey Rapids then back to start. The route is 85% paved and 15% gravel, the NF gravel tracks are quite good.

Tea and cake will be at Furzey Gardens

Using a road bike is up to you, the gravel tracks are pretty smooth but the best option is hybrid wheels. Please take your own puncture repair kit, waterproofs and money.
