Before the Southampton v Villa game. Not really anything else to say. | clivevilla | 21/01/2023 |
Parked the Adidas TERREX van at the BP garage (20mins free) and walked to the bollards at Francis Avenue. Not especially scenic so GFE unimpressed with our 4 minute hill bagging loop. | Fionalevey | 16/10/2022 |
Diverted on the way home from Blackwater hill. Parked on Francis Avenue. Luckily the previous two hills were pleasant. | Buck | 04/07/2022 |

Deserted at 0730 on a beautiful sunny Sunday morn. Strong winds , which lasted all day,buffeting the car, twiggy branches littering the roads, wheelie bins over and bold birds boomaranging backwards. Just to the west is the shy source of the just 7 km long River Bourne (a common name for a seasonal stream) which drains down to the logically named Bournemouth - a blob of urbanisation and crowdedness strung out along 7 miles of beaches, refered to by it’s Council in a nicer term as England’s Coastal Garden. | Chris Pearson | 10/03/2019 |
