If you come off M3 at J13 Eastleigh follow to Fair Oak. Watch out for speed cameras especially after coming off the bridge over railway at Eastleigh going into Fair Oak. Fair Oak to Lower Upham to Bishops Waltham to Meonstoke has some nice stretches of fast country roads. Poole to Eastleigh c1hour on a good day. Eastleigh to Bucks Head 20 to 30 mins. so your 2 hours probably not far out!tanamana wrote:Still trying to work out the best route. I think it may have to be
the M27 / M3 at that time - providing on getting out of Poole and its environs
in less than an hour.
I shall give myself a couple of hours, I think.
Alternatives: M27 to J7 then up through Botley to Bishops Waltham or M27 to J11 and the up A32. Not sure either will save much time but J7 probably the nicer of the 2 alternatives IMHO.
If you are using M3 J13 route keep an eye out for Le Mans Green TF heading in the same direction after Lower Upham!

Look forward to welcoming you to the SCRR nosh & natter!
