| A couple of points to remember- this is an early season ride. It is not flat but it is not hard; there is one demanding hill. Please ride at your own pace and stop if you need to. Most of the ride covers roads with little traffic. Some roads will have 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. Secondly dont rush. Remember the pub will not be open until noon. Finally, the homeward leg is slightly shorter, so take your time to relax at lunch. 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 and follow the road round to the junction with Horndean road (2.9) Go across this junction and follow the road to Hollybank Lane where you turn left. (3.2) Go to the top of this hill and bear right into Long Copse Lane follow this lane all the way to the next T Junction (4.2). Turn left up Monks Hill road and at the T junction (4.8) turn right.

Take the right hand turn (8.6) under the railway bridge to Finchdean. Go through Finchdean, keeping to the right and on and under the next railway bridge (9.2) WARNING - the road surface is generally not all it could be under this bridge. Carry on up this road and just after the Saxon Church on the right (up in the field) at the next junction turn right (9.9). WARNING - Be careful on this turn as cars sometimes come down the road at great speeds. Climb the short hill and follow this undulating road all the way to the next T junction (12.2) opposite Little Green School. Turn right and follow the road, through Compton and on through West Marden (sign 13.5) and on towards Walderton.
