Hale Purlieu is a quiet straight road, linking Woodgreen with Hatchet Green.

Ford at New Forest National Park

Highlight • Bridge

Took a break at this stream and enjoyed the scenery. You need to cross the stream via a ford which I guess means getting a bit wet when it floods - no problem on the day I cycled over it.

Very cold start again and plenty of patches of black ice. It did warm up later in the day which made for a pleasant finish. This cold spell is just dragging on and on..

One of my favourite medium distance rides. Satisfyingly quiet roads and some lovely little villages, 'Love' and 'Nomansland' to name 2.
