be west of Nursling is the large commuting and Recreational area of
Totton, and the New Forest.
There is a road and footpath link to this area from Nursling through Testwood lakes avoiding the busy roads to the south. If the footpath (no. 18) section could be made shared use with cyclists it would give a very good cycle route for both commuting and leisure cyclists. Little work needs to be done:- replacing the stile (at picture A) with a cycle and pushchair friendly gate similar to one shown below, and making the stretch from B to C above full width within the fences (see photos below).

A - End of the road section and start of footpath. Plenty of room for shared use with pedestrians |

B - Short section needing clearing to fence line. |
C - The entry to Testwood lakes. |

Dear
Mike,
As
an addendum to our phone conversation, please note that the gates at
Nice idea; much shorter route than Moorcourt Farm. I'd use it a lot (even on the road bike, if the surface was OK).
