Way Out West From Winchfield

 At very short notice Sunday's ride will be train assisted to/from Winchfield railway station. It's around 27 miles with two bumps.

Please bring "emergency" rations and sun cream as there's few pubs/shops along the way. Co-ops near Redfields, Crondall and Odiham and that's about it!

Trains are hourly so you must catch the 0907 Waterloo 0930 Surbiton. Some trains split at Woking; you want the front portion for Basingstoke. The cheapest ticket is a Sunday Out Return - £13.70 (£9.10 for those with travel cards).

On Sunday afternoons there's half hourly (xx.02 and xx.32) services from Fleet (about 4 miles) the second leaves Winchfield at xx.27).

11s (Redfields Garden Centre) is around 3 miles from the start and opens at 1030. With a 0930 train we might get there around 1029 ! (09:30 + 0.39 + 0:20)

Lunch (Lasham Airfield with alternative, Avenue GC).

Tea (Odiham several pubs, cafes, shops
