Route from Devon to Hants

[maxglide]

I'm looking at a ride from Seaton to Winchester - approx 100 miles, hopefully in a day.

Out of Seaton, NE towards Salisbury along mostly lanes & B roads - passing S of Yeovil, Shaftesbury.

Then after Salisbury, approx ESE to Winchester. Anybody ridden something similar? Stealth camping options if it turns into a 2 day gig?

I rode the opposite way from Horsham a few years back. gpx traces of my route are here: part 1, part 2

How long did it take?

Two days from Horsham, but I think Seaton to Winchester in a day is definitely do-able. My route between Winchester and Salisbury wasn't brilliant, if I were to do it again I'd follow NCN24 rather than cycling along the ridge to the north.

Glad to hear Seaton - Winchester is a day ride (long one, though).

Yes, your Winchester - Salisbury took the car-friendly and busy N route. The last 5 miles into Salisbury along the A30 must have been entertaining...

Best, is SW out of Winchester > Braishfield > Mottisfont > East Grimstead > Salisbury. That's the route I'll take, in the opposite direction.
