19/7/2009, morning at 9.15a.m I started my expedition to Bursledon, car boot sales. I need to pay 30 pence as entrance fees. Not expensive. I can buy a lot of things from this market. Even microscope I can get it from here, just cost me 4 pounds. But I didn't buy it coz it is too heavy for me to bring to Malaysia later. In fact I was looking for my bike helmet, because I heard that somebody can get for 1 pound only. But too bad, I can't find it. Never mind, next time hopefully can get it at the Fair Oak car boot sales. Let me cross my fingers.
From Bursledon I cycled to Pickwell Farm Shop. What can I find in this farm? Haha... fresh strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant. It was a big farm, planted with many types of fruits. Unluckily, it was almost the end of the strawberry season. But still can find quite many big strawberries there. I was given a small basket to enter the farm. I supposed to pick and pay at the counter. But, what I did was....... picked and ate there. The picking rate was not as fast as my eating rate. So end up, my stomach was full, and just walked out with empty basket. Hahaha..... free fruits lunch.
From Pickwell, I headed to Swanwick Marina, some where around Hamble. Cruises were parked at the marina. Big one small one, boat come boat go, boat boat with rich men.... I was having my lunch here. Not in the restaurant, but just sat on the stone step. Having my 10 pieces of chicken wings which just costed me 1 pound and reduced price egg sandwiches.

An enjoyable trip. From Wessex Lane, going thru Swaything, Bursledon, Hamble, Manor Farm Country Park, Sholing, Bitterne and back to Wessex Lane. A big round which took me 9 hours to complete the journey. An economic journey! Next week, Brokenhurst and Lymington!
