From a cool start in Whitchurch it wasn't long before the sun came out and warmed us up nicely. We started with the very picturesque section down the Test Valley, staying close to the river for some lovely views, before making an early coffee stop in Stockbridge. After that we made good progress along more pretty back lanes and passing through picture postcard villages. In no time we found ourselves enjoying a pint and a chat with the very friendly locals while sitting in the sunshine in front of The George Inn at St Mary Bourne only 3 miles from the finish. A really enjoyable day out and back home in time for a late lunch.
