Start point.

Small lay-by on B3079, Roger Penny Way, just off Cadnam roundabout on offside. (1st exit if coming from Dorset, 3rd from Hampshire).

B3079 to B3078 (left hand fork towards Godshill) NB. cattle grids and wild horses and ponies in road.

Godshill into Fordingbridge to Cranborne

(over bridge, road turns sharp left, follow right fork into Shaftesbury Street and follow through Sandleheath and all the way to the T junction at the end of Steel Lane and turn right onto Browns Lane. Follow road to village of Cranborne back onto the B3078 in the direction of Knowlton.

Cranborne to Sixpenny Handley

On Cranborne Road (B307 take 2nd right onto Parsonage Lane (B3081) and follow to T junction and turn right. Follow road to left and into a long straight* to roundabout, straight across to Six Penny Handley. *beware of speed monitoring by Police on nearside side road, hidden by row of trees.

Six Penny Handley to Zig Zag Hill.

Follow road through SPH, approximately 3km after leaving village, beware of harsh right hand bend and road surface.

Road takes you into Wiltshire boarder, then back into Dorset -

Road leads to Zig Zag hill, tight right hand bend with poor road surface and beware of vehicles cutting corners and on your side of road. Follow B3081 to T junction, turn right follow to end of road, turn left on A30 and then first exit on roundabout, A350.

Shaftesbury to Worlds End PH.

Follow A350 to Spetisbury turn right on B3075 heading for A31. At the A31 turn right and follow road for approximately 2km with Worlds End public house on nearside.

This could be used as half a route but is sufficient for a good ride. A31 can be used to hot foot it back to Hampshire if required after a bite to eat and a cold drink.

Thoughts?

(not sure how to do the fancy maps)
