Knaus Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hi going to sandy Balls in September. Can anyone tell me what the 3078 road is like from the M27. Would like to go that way instead of A31 to Ringwood and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mitch Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 It's a typical New Forest road, undulating, often with a large number of cows, horses and donkeys, along with cyclists in the evenings and weekends. The road narrows near to the entrance of Sandy Balls if I recall. However just take your time and watch for wide oncoming traffic and you'll be fine. You are right in avoiding Ringwood and the road up to Fordingbridge. When the M27 becomes the A31 and loses a lane there can be a long tailback, particularly on Friday afternoons / evenings and at the weekends. I'm fortunate to live just across the border in Dorset and it is a wonderful area. Mad Mitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigal55 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hi i,ve taken my m/home along the 3078 no problems apart from giving way occasionally, better than the jams between Picket post & Ringwood. To all there are signs up on the A31 for road closures 10.00p.m to 6a.m. between 18/8 to 3/9. A31, Hampshire Location Jct 2 to Ashley Heathl West Bound Period 18-Aug-2014 to 03-Sep-2014 Effect Moderate (10 - 30 mins) Length 9301 metres Description Closed Follow Diversion 2200 to 0600 Inlay Location Map: View roadworks location on Google map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean.clarke Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 No problem at all with the access - been there (and around there in the New Forest) in my large twin axle MH with absolutely no problem. Cows and ponies on the road will cause more tailbacks, but just chill (we were stuck behind a donkey for 10 minutes!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
