Bank Holiday weekend and a good weather forecast so plan this week will be to try and avoid the traffic as much as possible and head north out of the forest.

Usual meet at 0850 for a 0900 depart from the main car park in Brookley Road, Brockenhurst.

120Km loop to the east and then north to take in Dean Hill. Followed by another hilly section around Wood Green, Godshill and then the option for Blissford Hill or the bale out option around Abbotswell. Then at 80Km coffee at The Potting Shed followed by a 40Km meander back to Brock around the backroads of Bransgore.

Look forward to seeing the return of the Girona crew apart from thise that have carried onto the Majorca end of the tour. Good luck to those doing the 312 this weekend.
