October run railway timetable

Here’s a timetable for Sat/Sun trains between London and Brockenhurst. This timetable is for July, so there may be differences when October rolls around, but it’s a start. Cheers!

Update on the October 2009 run

Here’s the rough itinerary for the weekend.

Saturday: Travel to the New Forest, rendezvous at Brockenhurst Station around lunchtime. Cycle to Lymington using a quiet and picturesque route devised by the fine staff of the New Forest Cycle Experience. This route is 20 miles only, to warm up and shake down the bikes for the following day.

Stay overnight at a B&B in Lymington. Dinner & pub.

Sunday: Cycle 2 miles to Boldre Village Hall, register by 9am for the Gridiron and set off. It’s 60 miles long, and apparently tough in places. I’m told it’s about as hard as the London to Brighton (minus Ditchling Beacon). When we’re back at the Village Hall, which should be by 5pm, head for Lymington Pier railway station (2 miles back) for trains home via the Waterloo main line through Brockenhurst.

I will be inviting new members to this trip, and I would encourage existing members to do the same.
