Participants
Plans
Macronencer plans to try to get to this one, probably by driving into Southampton, catching the Hythe Ferry and then cycling the rest of the way. It all depends whether his car is available (having work done on the brakes).
Expedition
Macronencer has been and will report later!

See you later, Southampton
Hythe Ferry pier
Ferry web site says this is the world's oldest pier train, a Guinness record
Ferry departing. The Itchen Bridge is in the background
The New Forest. Much better than the old one, which had too many trees...
Cattle
Ponies - and a foal, for the gushy amongst you
Hash in view!
Mostly dry, but occasional ponds to catch me out
45m away, had to abandon the bike. That landscape is harder to cross than it looks.
Yay! Co-ordinates reached.
No sign of a marker from the others, but there were a few of these flattened tussocks.
Stupid grin!
This is my "before" photo. Take note! After cycling 100 hashes I will post the "after" one :)
Phillip, first mate of the Hythe Ferry, and an honorary geek!
