It has been another good week for me, enjoying three very different rides.

| Basing Park Colours.

Thursday 30th May.
After lunch at East Meon, I headed North up the steep Park Hill towards Bordean. After climbing the steepest part I found this tranquil little pond by Park Farm and paused for a break.

I have over the years been intrigued as to the course of the Meon valley railway after it crosses the A272 near the West Meon Hut. I have studied the maps and decided to try and find out the location of the North end of the Privett Tunnel. I found it on Hempland Lane right beside the road opposite a house. The cutting has largely been infilled and very mature trees are growing there. The Southern end is not accessible by road but I think it might be by a footpath.
