hi, went southampton to collect new bike. I wasnt decided on which way back to london.
Managed to cycle late saturday to winchester and started king alfred. my friend was old school touring fully loaded, we were not fast anti clock wise to franham. the few miles we have done, I would defo recommend that route! well signed, a huge variety of terrain, 90% off-road, barely any traffic.
cons: some little 1-2 miles detour to keep off road from the route, can often be shortened by half a mile on quiet country lanes. no tires less than 32, and lightweight luggages recomended.
