How long does it take cycle somewhere in New Alresford?

September 1, 2015September 1, 2015 Andrew Wilcox Leave a comment Cycling, Local

I live down by the Cricketers off Tichborne Down. It’s almost the furthest point from the town centre (junction of Broad Street, West and East Street). Here are three rides that give some scale to cycling in New Alresford with the risks for each route. It’s not a big place, you can get from one […]

Followed by the most distant one from New Alresford at the Hawkley Arms – 13 miles by bike. The Longest Day […]

Each breakfast has a business topic as a focus for the discussions. No presentations just sharing of people’s experience. Next topic: […]

The water level is gradually rising at the Ladycroft Ford, Alresford

February 5, 2014 Andrew Wilcox 2 Comments Local

The River Itchen is gradually rising. The fields between here and Cheriton are flooded. Its best to approach the Tichborne Arms from the Cheriton end of the Tichborne Road. At least 100m of the road is now below the level of the river at the Alresford end. Note the Tichborne Arms is open and cosy. […]

FirstThing at Christmas – No Animals, No Children and Technology

December 18, 2013December 18, 2013 Andrew Wilcox Leave a comment Business

Attended a very pleasant breakfast meeting at First Option this morning. David Cradduck had set up a quiz using Kahoot!, an online tool for setting questions, running a quiz and producing the league tables. It was all looking good, 18 people hooked up via their smart phones using a web-based app. Kahoot! even gives points […]

The ford has new ramps and some tarmac on the footpath

November 12, 2013November 12, 2013 Andrew Wilcox Leave a comment Local

The ford now has concrete ramps on both sides. The path has been tarmaced and the footbridge repaired. Its looks looking great but its still deep. It does not look as if your average saloon or hatchback will make it through with today’s water level. Cyclists on National Cycle Route 23 will be able to […]

Something is happening down at the ford

October 17, 2013October 17, 2013 Andrew Wilcox Leave a comment Local, Uncategorized

Work has started on the rebuilding of the local Global Positioning Slug trap. Four wheel drives with high floor pans have been getting through. White vans and hatchbacks tend to get stuck on the entry cliffs or float for a while before sinking, as my little brother will testify. Will there be a cycle lane […]

Well the plans that have been proposed will help cyclists and pedestrians. Take a look at Changes in West Street and Proposed changes to the front of the Coop Store. Both have the same picture and in the latter there is contact information for making suggestions. Hopefully they will install “Sheffield” bike stands  and not […]
