Interesting route to portsmouth

[225]

Got to drive to Pompey on Sunday and it is easy enough from London, straight down the A3 but was wondering if anyone could suggest a more intersting drive route?

From A31 at Alton take the A32 South - after the 'village' of East Tisted, at the first intersection turn left. You can treat this road as unlimited

Just at the end of the straight is a great pub - The Trooper. Road then winds through Steep and Petersfield.

A24, A29, A272, A32 should be a laugh.

A32 is that the road that goes through the woods with a few hairpin bends on a downward spirral

I think you are thinking of the A272. Which is fantastic. A32 not a bad route either though.

Probably,it cuts through a lovely piece of countryside and the views are good.

Just had a meeting in Fareham (from Guildford). Rather than use the A3, I remembered this thread and decided to pop down to Alton and use the good old A32.

Sun shining, dusty roads, no traffic, ELO in the stereo. Making progress was just brilliant, and with such fast corners it was almost as quick as using the A3 anyway. It was so good that I decided to come back that route as well, this time with the stereo off.

Definitely the best HM Highway blat I've had in ages.
