^^^ Ha! so true about the lack of station signs, Spybot,
I really was miffed at having to do a Bournemouth A-road alleycat after such a lengthy journey, only to miss my pre-paid return train by 3 mins.
Thank-you to the three others who groupsaved and minimized my additional spend to £22.85.
Quite a coup to get twelve of us onto a train with only three available bike spaces.
That said, it had been a great day out and that ride just seemed to get better the further we went: after Alton there were some spanking cycling lanes leading to the lofty openess of the New Forest and swweping descents to sunset over the sea at Christchurch.
Really enjoyed the company of some of the regulars and was pleased to meet each of the 'newbies' I've not ridden with before. Thank-you Sam for getting the show on the road and to you and /rod Munch for near faultless navigation.
A few gear incheh less, Raymund and you'd have been with us all the way to the beach.
A lasting memory of deer and brakeless steeds vaulting bushes. And New Forest ponies slipping on banana skins
