Mere to just past Chadderwick Hill on the A303 (bear right just before services, there is slip road)

Chadderwick Hill to barford st martin B3089 again fast and undulating few 30s

Barford st Martin to Shaftesbury A30 fast in places with some great scenery, Just before Ludwell turn left onto Dennis Lane follow through and turn left onto B3081 this is a corker and the views but eyes front its fast, keep on B3081 to verwood BH316AX.

Tea break at crescent Suzuki and a good mooch at the bsb bikes and work shop. At this point it’s of to Poole Quays for lunch aprox 22 miles Via:

Lattiford to castle cary A371 short stint but it twists and turns, fun road.
