Going for a little jolly to the new forest with my bf and we would like to do a few 5ks down there coz the location is so nice, but not living in the area I have no idea where would be good to run, So....does anyone know of any sites that might have maps of routes?...
We will be near Brockenhurst/Hordle area
Thank you

Have a look at this site: http://www.new-forest-national-park.com/
The cycle routes around Brockenhurst are in good condition and are good for running.
simple solution - run out, turn around after X minutes to fit with your stamina, run back.......and don't take any turns en route so that way you can't get lost
This is weird as I have just spent last Thursday to Sunday down at The New Forest, stayed at Brockenhurst too. Absolutely lovely and beautiful scenery down there as you have said. I mapped my routes on mymyrun.com but when I got down there I had to change the route completely as the routes I mapped where very isolated so I had to stick to this long busy stretch of road for 4 miles then turn back.
There where many routes I drove that looked great to run but personally I felt better sticking to a busy road rather on my lonesome in an unknown terrority
The road I ran was Lyndhurst road, the other road I took a detour on in my car was the Beauli road which looked amazing to run on, some nice horses and cattle romaing free on the road. The Lyminton road I ran on to but that's very much the same as the Lyndhurst road.
Sorry I can't be more helpful as I didn't actually run in the forest, I walked and there where many bikes passing by on the trials which would have been cool to run on, but again I chickend out but for what it's worth hope I helped a bit.
