Map
A 25km ride from Horndean via Finchdean & Buriton follows an attractive route mainly on NCN22 close to the railway. Care is needed on the steep descent into Buriton. Approaching QECP through Butser Cutting there's a long incline with a moderate gradient on NCN222 that has a good Tarmac/Asphalt surface. There are good view from the summit.
Return to Horndean along NCN222, some of which is off road on Asphalt surfaces. The only heavy traffic is on London Road, Horndean where care is needed.

About Waterlooville CCC rides
We have established a Community Cycling club for Waterlooville - a series of cycle rides in the Waterlooville area for people who are new to group riding or who haven't cycled for a while. All are circular routes in moderate terrain that avoid steep inclines but may include a steeper descent. As far as possible we will avoid busy roads. Routes are all less than 50km long (most substantially less). Our aim is to make cycling enjoyable, safe and welcoming for all.
