Approximate distance: 38 miles

Full detail including map and download

This is the route followed by Richard Sumpter's ride on 28th May 2023. Julie Freegard helped with the planning.

The ride started and finished at Fort Nelson, but I went through Havant on the way to the start. I left the ride close to Gosport to get back to Hayling via the ferry.

The route goes via:

  • Havant
  • Portsdown Hill
  • Fort Nelson
  • Fareham
  • Peel Common
  • Stubbington by-pass (using cycle path)
  • Warsash
  • Hook
  • Meon
  • Hill Head
  • Solent Airport (Café at Zero 5)
  • Privett
  • Stokes Bay
  • Gosport
  • Portsmouth
  • Southsea
  • Eastney
  • Hayling Ferry

Route: Hayling quiet route

Approximate distance: 19 miles

Full detail including map and download

A ride of 19.2 miles around some of the quieter streets and cycle paths on Hayling. Perfect for the Coronavirus lockdown, as you don't have to do it all in one go.

It starts and finishes at Mengham crossroads by the URC, but of course you can join and leave the route at any point, and do it in either direction.

Or you can loop to Sandy Point, the Ferry, Northney, or just all or part way down the Billy Trail (you can cut across to West Lane at the Caution POI, minding the blind bend).
