Adrenaline Comedy Bike Tour Experience at B3335
$6.82
This is a unique experience because there are hardly any cycle lanes in Hampshire and most people are too frightened to go on the roads. However your guide has lots of experience in running a school cycle bus and shielding children from the traffic. You will therefore be in a unique position to learn what it is like to cycle from the leafy village of Colden common, through the ancient streets of Twyford and on to Hockley link, in the knowledge that you will be protected by the cycle bus. Here you will enjoy the beauties of one of the rarest resources in the Winchester area. It’s called a cycle lane. We will laugh at the the fact that it just stops at hockley and chortle at the terrible junction design. We will guffaw at the incompetencies of HCC and explore the car focused mindsets of leaders of the council with fun quizzes and diabolical facts. This is a comedic romp through the cycling mayhem of the winchester active travel strategy.

About Pulpit Rock
About Pulpit Rock
Lying near the southern tip of the Isle of Portland, Dorset is Pulpit Rock. It is an artificial rock stack jutting out from the rocky coast at Portland Bill. The stack is not a natural geological formation, but was created in the 1870’s when a natural arch of rock was cut away by workmen from the Bill Quarry.
Flora and Fauna
The sea area around the Rock is rich in wrasse, making it a popular location for local fishermen who use it as favored location for casting lines into the deep water kelp beds. There are plenty of fish to catch in addition to Wrasse including mackerel, pollack, eels, garfish and cod.
Tourism and Activities
Tourists visit Pulpit Rock and the lighthouses of Portland Bill regularly; it is so popular with locals and visitors alike in fact that often the rock is overcrowded and late arrivers will have to make do fishing from the platforms of rock on either side of Pulpit. It is important to mention that fishing is only possible around the bottom of the tide.
The Portland Bill lighthouse that overlooks Pulpit Rock was built in 1906 and a guided tour describes its history. There are numerous lighthouses on the Isle of Portland which, despite its name, is connected to the mainland by a sandbank, which forms part of Chesil Beach.
