This trip was from the middle of October. We arrived in the New Forest Wednesday the 9th October and let Sunday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another spell of quiet weather with warm daytime temperatures spurred us on to join Paul and Andrea for a few days in the New Forest. This time we wouldn’t be staying at our usual haunt (Black Knowl CAMC Site at Brockenhurst) but instead, Red Shoot Campers. This site is North of the A31 and located next door to the Red Shoot Inn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being north of the A31, this was the perfect opportunity to explore places a bit more challenging to access from Black Knowl at Brockenhurst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst the Red Shoot Inn no longer has the on-site micro-brewery, it serves good pub food and had a decent selection of real ales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After pitching-up at Red Shoot campers, we headed to the Red Shoot Inn for refreshments and dinner, watching the cattle meander by, outside.<\/p>\n\n\n

With a mixture of cycling and walking, we never tire of spending time in the New Forest, with the free-roaming ponies, donkeys, deer and cattle. Presently pigs have been let loose to eat the acorns which apparently can be poisonous to the ponies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few highlights from the visit below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cycle ride to the Cuckoo Inn at Hamptworth. Great value sandwiches available at the Inn for a mere \u00a33.50 each!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
