Yeah, the Hampshire ones are really useful. Nothing techy (apart from the occasional small dose), just bridleway cross country stuff. Where are you staying?

forest of new is nice right now - you'd have to try pretty hard to find only swamp, even if you went all, err, unofficial

There's this one too. STW group ride (which I missed) heading off from Alresford.

If you're in Soton then lordswood might be worth an explore - but I've not been there for ages...

For a quieter experience, me and/or DrP might be able to sort something in the Poole area.

poole side i assume. 50+? That's huge! I'd definitely be up for someone showing me around, it's been a while.

Where do people normally start in the new forest? Brockenhurst?
