Meet as usual at the main car park in Brookley Rd, Brockenhurst 8.50 a.m for a 9.00 a.m start.
This weeks route meanders along the familiar terrain of Rhinefield Rd before crossing the A35 to begin the ascent of Col de Bolderwood. We then take a right turn downhill towards Emery Down and the New Inn in which of course the captain of the Titanic, Edward Smith, spent his final night on British shores before he set sail on the ill-fated ship the next day.
On that uplifting note we go onwards through the Palaeolithic village of Minstead before crossing the enchanting A337 towards the historically moribund village of Bartley, through Woodlands to Ashurst. From here we take Deerlepe lane and If we survive Ipley Cross should reach the pleasant hotbed of feudalism that is Beaulieu (Thanks Aleksandra Burlinson) Returning to Brock via Hatchet pond,
I am back from my travels but don't let that put you off, the current forecast is very nice so I hope to see a good turnout.
