July 24, 2022,Great gravel decent – New Forest Ponies Loop from Brockenhurst

A brilliant route, some of the trail has changed but the software was smart enough to reroute.

May 3, 2025,Ashurst trainstation to Brockenhurst Loop

The time shown is how long we were there for.
The ride took 3,5hrs going slowly at 5miles an hour as with beginning rider.
Could be done faster as nice routes and relatively flat.
