Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
This looks epic!
The A32 and A272 are great roads, however are also heavily policed, especially on hot sunny weekends! There are however lots of other alternatives (back road from Petersfield southeast towards Chichester?) that are quieter and better IMHO. My mum runs a B&B in Hamble, about 20 mins away. There are two double/twin rooms - if you want more details please PM me.

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
The reason we decided to camp in the centre of the police hotspot is its surrounded by good roads and it means we can ride away from the police to the great roads on the outskirts while they are clustered round our camp area.
And I believe that road is being surveyed for suitability by our dedicated team, we've sent them out 10 times but apparently they aren't sure and need to check again. |

TBF there's plenty to do in Winchester for the non riders and loads of B&B's around that way. |

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
Tim.
Marwell zoo is highly recommended, New Forest is about 30 mins away, Historic Dockyard at Portsmouth, Jane Austen's house, Winchester Cathedral, South Downs for walking. What does she like

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
From where we are you've got historic Winchester, Portsmouth museums and docks, Basingstoke for shopping, Petersfield for whatever the point of Petersfield is...
Not to mention anything else in the countryside like manor farm country park in Botley. |

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
If my geography is correct, getting to the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu isnt a huge distance from that area either...

Re: AR2013 Tender annoucement
Nope, that's not too bad, it's just down in the new forest.
A bit further than the other suggestions but we could give you a route that would probably be under an hour. |
