Sunflowers and pub lunch at Rotherwick, from FBC

The Sunflowers are in bloom at the Rotherwick Patch and the Falcon pub is nearby, so it is a good excuse to go there for a pub lunch after visiting the sunflower fields! We'll stop at the Sunflower Patch first, which has a cafe serving cold drinks/tea/coffee (and has toilets) - take some photos and then head to the pub for lunch at 12.00. They do a Light Lunch menu of sandwiches/wraps, served with salad or chips (prices range from £9.95 - £11.00)

Our route from FBC will be along Park Lane, over the ford and on lanes to Hazeley Heath. We'll go through Mattingley, on to Hartley Wespall and along the pretty Mill Lane to Lyde Green, before arriving at the Rotherwick Patch for refreshments and photos. After a break, we'll cycle on to Rotherwick Village and stop for lunch. The return route is through Dipley, Hazeley Bottom and then back up Plough Lane, before going off-road through Bramshill Forest and back to Calfornia Country Park.

You must please wear a cycle helmet and bring a bottle of water, money/card for payment at the pub, a spare innner tube to fit your bike and a pump and bike lock if you have one.

Please check your bike before coming out - especially tyres inflated correctly, both brakes working and oil on your chain.

We never leave anyone behind
