All sections Next: Liss>South Downs Previous: Farnham>Devil's Punchbowl
Today, I parked at the NT DPB car park, and returned to Gibbet Hill where I ended my last ride along the KAW from Farnham, and rode the KAW to Liss (more exactly, the start of the railway path into Liss), about 13 miles. I rode back to the start by a slightly shorter route, using the track of the disused Military Railway across the Longmoor training area, the range perimeter path and Bramshott Common south of the A3, which passes the Canadian WW1 memorials (more details in this blog). Here's a map.
Another very enjoyable ride. Here's some photos.

| The Old Road along the Devil's Punchbowl |
 |
| Just next to the A287/A333 junction is Undershaw, Former residence of Arthur Conan Doyle. In Victoriam times, the area was known as Little Switzerland, and many 'celebrities' had country homes there (eg Tennyson) |
 |
| A surprisingly steep descent awaits on Bramshott Common...... |
 |
| ...but order is soon restored |
 |
| The very pleasant Passfield bridleway |
 |
| Crossing the A3 near Conford |
 |
| Join the Liphook branch of the Shipwright's Way |
 |
| The Shipwright's Way skirts the military training area...... |
 |
| .... and passes though attractive heathland scenery |

| The Canadian military cemetery in Bramshott churchyard. Most died in the flu pandemic of 1918/19 |
 |
| Next to the A3 is a memorial avenue of Canadian maples, at its best in the autumn |
 |
