The course is situated on the border of the New Forest National Park around Bransgore and is a gem of a sporting course. The best ‘drag’ being Harrow Road, is nicely sheltered by hedgerows and has been re surfaced. Often overlooked in favour of the ‘fast’ courses, its actually good fun and the best bit is you get to do it twice as it’s a 5 mile circuit. The roads ‘roll’ pretty well (and are no worse than any other course in the area) with a great start / finish straight. The descent of Thorney Hill can be enjoyed at a good pace, but keep an eye out for the odd rough section of road and allow a safe braking distance for the turn at the bottom. We would advise staying off tri bars for this descent after passing the cattle grid.
