Great for a casual cycle, about 1/3 on roads, rest on very good tracks. 3 villages nicely spaced for a leisurely coffee or lunch, plenty of cafes and pubs! @Claw

Day 1 of @Deleted User Winter Warmer fundraising event. As always the New Forest never fails to disappoint - filled with beautiful gravel tracks, a fantastic cafe stop at The Woods Cyclery and then a very cold dip with some other enthusiastic bikepackers in the river by Balmers Lawn. The river was relatively slow flowing and safe to enter in …

There are a couple of gentle inclines but lots of gates that kept …
