Default Recommend me a good route from Lond to Soton?

Travelling down Saturday morning, and would like to avoid the motorway drudgery.

Get yourself to Gatwick area not really sure about that bit of the journey, but then onto the A 272 to Billingshurst then down to Arundel and along the A27. Or straight down the A272 right to Winchester and then down through Hursley and then onto Romsey and then Southampton. Not bad biking roads.

Gotcha. I'll be starting from Purley so I'll be fairly South to begin with anyway.

Alternatively you could head for Brighton and then come all the way along the A27 but not so interesting.

Yeah, I've moved but the SV is parked outside Kate's house so I'll be off to purley first. Caterham bypass is a great road to be sure!
