• Does anyone have a nice mixed surface / quiet route from New Forest to Southampton? Rail replacement bus on Sundays from Brockenhurst to Southampton, so need to ride that leg.

  • Have done it a few times will look through my strava later. pretty good cycling infra getting out of Southampton which makes it bearable

  • I'd ride to Hythe and take the Ferry to Soton if I wanted to have a nice time. But it's only hourly on a Sunday.

    The only real alternative is - Take some gravel tracks (nice 👌) to Lyndhurst. Get a bit stuck on the Lyndhurst gyratory, then chug along a cycle path next to a big road until Ashurst. Wiggle through some suburbia and then follow cycle paths along massive roads through Totton into Soton.
