What, going through Funtley?
I admit the road after the fly over to the train station roundabout is a horrible surface, and I would not really want to ride it every day (least not on a road bike), but still, it’s got to be the fastest, easiest way. If you really wanted to avoid that, you could just go up wallington way, up past sainsburies, then off up turnpike and kiln road into funtley, but there’s so many schools there, I imagine the traffic would be awful.
There’s actually quite a neat off road route from fareham to funtley that is kinda fun.
I’d actually be tempted to try lanes, sort of a southwick, wickham, knowle route. Doesn’t look like it would be that much longer, and probably a bit quieter. And avoiding the ****holes that are fareham and portchester is always a massive plus.
Yeah, if you cut up to worlds end, skirt denmead, and avoid southwick, you can actually shorten your commute. Pretty long commute whatever you do though.
