Phil found a friend

Final day and glorious riding over the New Forest where Phil made friends with the locals. Quite strange though to be sat in a cafe in Brockenhurst and see ponies just wandering up and down the road.

Our route took us through Ashurst so I was able to call on an old friend from university where we stopped for tea and cake and a natter. Final ride into Southampton was horrible, after the beauty of the past three days, it's not a pretty city by any stretch of the imagination. Riding from New Street home in Brum was more pleasant!
