NFCC Sunday Club ride. 25th August 2019


With hangovers finally clearing after last weeks anniversary celebrations the plan this week is to head out on the Beaulieu Rd to the leech infested waters of Hatchet pond, before turning south to pass through East Boldre. The residents of this 'straggling hamlet' were described in a parliamentary report in 1834 as "for the most part smugglers and deer-stealers" Trying not to be judgemental we head east of Norleywood through St Leonards before returning north to the safety of the main rd. We pass up through Beaulieu via Palace lane before turning right onto Exbury lane and towards Lepe, from here through Langley and Blackfield before heading back towards Beaulieu along Rollestone Rd. We return as so often praying for a little assistance from the wind-gods along the Beaulieu rd.
Forecast is excellent as always so I hope to see another great turnout.
p/s I have slightly amended the official route to reflect the direction that we usually end up using.
