Wednesday 24th September – Sunday 28th September 2008
This is the 100th site I have visited on my Grand Mooch and at the moment I have 744 to go. This varies every winter when I update the information as new sites appear and others close.
I made a mistake approaching this site by not checking the distance from the roundabout. Consequently I missed it and had to travel about two miles down the A3090 before I could turn around. It’s not always easy to spot entrances when you are on your own as most of your attention is on the road and other road users [that’s my excuse]. One thing I later noticed was the owner flew the St Georges Cross flag at his entrance which would have helped if I had known [I hope it’s still there if you are going to use this as a landmark].
The site is a level grassed field which was in very good condition in view of the wet weather that we have had this summer. It must drain well. The pitching area is along one hedge adjacent to the main road [which can be noisy at times] but gives good views to the North West. Each pitch had its own dustbin but it was not obvious what re-cycling requirements were needed.
There is a supermarket a few miles away towards the M3 and of course there is everything else in Winchester. I think the number 66 bus between Romsey and Winchester passes the entrance but I did not see a bus stop. Anyone who needs to use this service should check it out first.
I found plenty to do in the surrounding area with the Cathedral and the City Mill worth a visit in Winchester.
