RB58 and I have been discussing this ride for some time and finally have agreed a date.
Winchester is only an hour out of Waterloo and with a groupsave ticket should be fairly inexpensive.
This route crosses some very pretty countryside and takes in some hills along the way.
Out of Winchester we will be following the Itchen Valley up to historical Selborne http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selborne
Over the heathlands South of Aldershot
Up the North Downs onto Ranmore Common
Up Box Hill. We can stop at the cafe at the top, while Ross does a few laps!
Then North East over the Downs to around Keston, where we will probably split to allow those returning to London to go North and where I will probably head East to home. The total distance should then be around 100 miles.
Please let me know if you are interested.
