Sunday 16 April. New Forest Weekend.

Today weather was cloudy early on soon clearing to bright sunny spells and then clouding over again in the afternoon.

Our ride was in the NW area of the New Forest and probably 70% of it offroad on Forest cycle tracks. With a lack of tea-rooms in the forest we stopped for an elevenses break on some logs and enjoyed some Easter Eggs supplied by Mary.

We continued up to the Hampton Ridge track and a steep climb up to earn some great views and then down to lunch at Frogham. A track later in the afternoon produced a puncture for Phil and Mary immediately followed by another puncture for Sam. The total for the trip for the group was now up to 8.

Afternoon tea was taken back at Burley. Mileage for the day was 36.
