Newport South Circular

To start this one, we parked in the public pay and display car park next door to Morrisons. The first part of the route follows the old railway line, so its quite flat and easy. Once you turn off this, the route begins a gentle climb and then seems to roll along up and down for the remainder of the route. There are a couple of pubs along the way for refreshments if you wish. There is also a short off-road section along a brdleway. It's not too bad, and you can dip your toes in the ford if you wish. The ford is actually the River Medina! The route the sarts to wind its way up until you come round the corner to a great view of Carisbroke Castle follow by a lovely fast desent back into Newport.
