| A couple of points to remember- this is an early season ride. Please ride at your own pace and stop if you need to. Most of the ride covers roads with relatively little traffic. Due to the bad weather this year more roads will be punctuated with very nasty potholes, at best you will encounter roads with loose grit or surface water, so be very careful, especially down hill or turning sharply - apply brakes evenly and keep your distance from riders in front. As always please keep your wits about you, particularly when cycling in a group. Don’t forget to take some spare inner tubes as punctures are bound to occur. Leave The Ship and head towards Havant. Turn right down the Hayling Billy cycle track, when you get to the car park area bear left up the hill and turn right onto the old road towards Emsworth. Follow this road straight to the traffic lights by the One Stop (1.4) Turn left at the lights and follow Southleigh Road to the junction with Horndean Road (2.9), cross the road and carry on to the mini roundabout (3.4). Go straight across and through Westbourne, follow the road until the sharp right hand bend out of the town, but turn right down Whitechimney Road (3.97), follow this road along side the new A27 and at the T junction with Woodmancote Lane turn right (5.3). Stay on this road until you get to the junction with Cheesemans Lane (6.5), turn left then immediately right.

About a mile down the road you will see a large metal style on your right, this is an entrance to The Centurion Way (12.0). Go through this and follow the path to the junction with the metal statues and turn right towards Chichester. Follow the cycle path all the way to its end where it comes out at a bus turn around point (13.7).
