WessexRomsey - Stockbridge and back. Start: Green Acre, Halterworth Lane, Romsey SO51 9AD at 10:00. 34 miles, A. 10am start from our house; coffee at the Wellow fishery (I think it was last year we stopped here too, a lovely location) after 16km and then via small lanes to Stockbridge for lunch (at about 37km, bring sandwiches) and then a loop back home for a total of 54km. There are obvious ways to shorten or lengthen that as required. My planner says 500m of ascent and descent, most of that clustered around 4 locations on the route, two before the coffee stop and then one before and after lunch. The majority of the distance is reasonably easy going. I expect Alison will provide some nibbles at home when we get back, for those who are able to hang around.
