PHIL HAMPTON MEMORIAL RIDE

The above ride will be held on Saturday March 24th 2012, despite what the CTC Magazine and web site says.
The ride will start at 10am from Four Marks Village Hall, which is in Lymington Bottom, Four Marks, ALTON GU34 5AA. ( O.S. 185 Ref 667-345 )
The minimum entry fee is £4 with the proceeds going to the CTC Cyclists’ Defence Fund. This fund was set up to help cyclists who might be innocent victims of road accidents.
There is a choice of a 50 mile, or 30 mile route, with sufficient climbing to warm you up on the coldest day.
Both routes take you through the best of scenic Hampshire, so your appreciation of beauty is due for topping up. Entry form from events@readingctc.org.uk

PS. I’ve done this ride and can recommend it highly.

Those of you interested in this Sundays off-road train assist around Tunnel Hill’s single track, the arrangements are.

• 10.03 Gatwick train from Reading, but get off at North Camp
• Ride starts from North Camp Station 10.30 am if you plan to drive
• Lunch likely to be in the Old Wheatsheaf Frimley Green (7 mins Farnborough North; 20 mins North camp)
• Return to Reading from farnborough North or North Camp
• Return trains from Farnborough North are only every 2 hours just past each even hour, Hourly service from North Camp.
• I’m happy to lead back to North Camp if required.

Hope to see you there, tunnel hill drains exceptionally well for those who want to use full sussers in the middle of winter. Unheard of in the Chilterns I hear you say !!

Streetmap shows an arrow pointing at the location. Bing doesn’t have an arrow but shows a bigger map and allows easier manipulation of the map.
