Eastrop to Odiham via Hartley Wintney Tuesday 4th December

We will head out of Eastrop Park out through Old Basing on to Newnhams Lane, we will then turn left towards Tynley Hall Golf Club where will have a quick diversion through the grounds before heading through Rotherwick High Street. We will then proceed for a short distance on the Reading Road where we will turn right to Dipley Mill where we will stop for a quick photo. We will then go on pass West Green House to the lights at Thackham Lane where we will then take Taplins Farm Lane over the M3. We will then head round to Winchfield Church towards Bagwell Lane where we will then pick up the Odiham Canal underpass. We will then head uptown Odiham High Street where we will stop for our Christmas Lunch. After lunch we will head away from Odiham High Street towards Robert May's School and we will follow the Greywell Road. We will cut through Hatch Lane and cross over the A30 at the Hatch Pub and follow the route back through Old Basing and pass the Hampshire Clinic back into Eastrop Park.

A lovely scenic 22 mile route out from Eastrop Park,to Odiham where we will stop for our Christmas Lunch at Le Creperie. The route is slightly longer than our usual routes and undulating in places. Good excuse to burn a few calories before we eat. Looking forward to our lovely Christmas get together ride. Jackie and Sarah

The roads we will cycle on are not traffic free, but once we have got out towards Newnham Lane we will be cycling towards slightly quieter roads.

We will stop to take a group photo on the route and to take on any refreshments. We will have a cafe stop for tea and cake at the end of this ride.
