work in progress, sort of.
It's a nice easy route as it's the cobweb run. A few stop off points and some nice roads in between them.
To finish with we can stop at any pubs in that approximate area if you like.

If its work in progress may I suggest that instead of taking the A352 up through Cerne Abbas you turn right on the r/about prior to the turn off and head towards Dorchester on the B3147, then take the left turn by the BP garage which takes you onto a unnamed road all the way up through and eventually rejoins the A352 the other end. A far superior road (IMO) for riding enjoyment and the fact that the Cerne abbas road is usally full of gravel traps all the way up through at the best of times.I'd imagine after all this rain it'll only be worserer.

i know the road Matt, it's fun but might be a little stale on a friendly. Best saved for a spirited day out ;0) thanks though.
I went with the Cerne road as it's a little more interesting to ride at posted limits, plus if they want to, can stop for a shot with the giant.

I think the locals of Upottery, Yarcombe and Newcott might be offended by referring to them as 'Rough', I always thought they were quite picturesque ;) ..................
