Route Maps
The Meeting Point
Meet/Start: "Bartley Lodge" just off J1 of the M27 at Cadnam. The morning route is 60 miles
(roughly 1:30hr) long and we'll aim to start the run by 11.00am so that there's plenty of time
for lunch before the afternoon run.
To get to Bartley Lodge for the start:
Come off the M27 at Junction 1, turn left onto a short dual carriageway (signposted
Cadnam, Lyndhurst, etc)
Move over to the right lane and at the roundabout turn right onto the A337 toward
New Forest Visitor Centre, Lyndhurst, Lymington
After 25M (almost straight off the roundabout), turn left into the driveway into Bartley
Lodge *** CAUTION *** The driveway has several near-invisible speed humps and a
cattle grid - its YOUR suspension!
Park at the back of the lodge in the general car park area
Park-up, reset your odo and partake of coffee or tea in the Hotel, and start talking bollocks
about cars, etc.
Top-up with fuel
Fuel can be found a few hundred metres along the A31 "Romsey Road" off the final
roundabout prior to the start point); on the M27 (Rownhams Services) just west of the
M3/M27 junction a few miles short of the start point; and in Lyndhurst (3 miles) on the A337
(try not to enter Lyndhurst town centre - it has a large one way system you have to follow to
get back out again!). There are also a few fuel stations on the route, but not many.
