New Forest Thorney Hill to Station Tea House

We will leave Burbush car park at 9.30am after a quick bike check then head out on this slightly more challenging cycle as we start with a small steady incline up Thorney Hill. Then it’s all off-road along bridle paths & mostly downhill! We will cycle along the disused train track to the Station House tea rooms at Holmsley for some refreshments, then further along the train tracks back to the Burbush car park. This is a lovely route, a really relaxing start to the weekend. Hybrid or mountain bike wheels are necessary for this ride. Wearing a helmet is advisable, although not compulsory. Please bring some money for refreshments cake or ice-cream..! A spare inner tube is advisable & maybe a waterproof - just in case! Hope to see you there! Weather looks ok - but IF raining at 9am we will call off the ride. Burley Road runs into Pound Lane; Just by a small bridge is the car park.
