This is mainly a flat route. There are two short hills at the Rowlands Castle end of the route. The majority of the route is on cycle path, but 3 short sections are on road:
1. from The Recreation Ground, The Fairway, Rowlands Castle to the bottom of the hill in Durrants Road
2. the section of road between Langstone Road and Langstone Bridge on to Hayling Island. The pavements on both sides of Langstone Bridge (only) are cycle paths.
3. the southern loop of Staunton Ave, Sea Front and Sinah Lane.

The Hayling Billy Coastal Way is formed from wedged scalpings, with a top-dressing, there’s some tarmac and some concrete and it could be a little lumpy in places. Nearly all road bikes will cope but mountain bikes are better suited ” I cycled the route on a mountain bike with slick road tyres and I was Satisfactory. There are places where a spot of would prefer to walk but these spots are few and far between and very short ” bearing in mind I biked the route the day following torrential downpours which pulled leaves off trees etc. a few puddles about but on the whole it was pretty well drained.

The smallest continent and biggest island in the world is Australia. In size, it is about as big as the 48 adjacent U.S.. There are about 20.4 million people and they are mostly focused in th eastern and southeastern coastal urban regions. This means that there are wide open spaces to explore in the rest of the country, and this can often be done by car. Stunning coastal lines, inland mountainous areas and verdant tropical forests with exotic plants and wild life are there for the traveler to discover.

You can easily organize for a car rental at the airport or hotel with an international drivers permit or a validated American or European drivers permit. There are dozens of car hire companies offering many types of vehicles, from assorted makes and sizes of cars and SUVs to minivans, camper vans and RVs, minibuses, and 4WDs. There is a vehicle to suit anyone. For instance, camping enthusiasts can get camper vans that will sleep up to 6 people, and come fitted out with a microwave, gas stove, griller and refrigerator. Deluxe models will have double beds, toilet and shower in addition to the mini-kitchen. There are four-wheel-drives that would be suitable for more rugged terrain. If budget is sensitive, there are economy compact cars and economy campers. There are also convertibles and luxury large cars.

If you are visiting Australia from another country, you should be familiar with the driving conditions: driving on the left side of the road, observing the different speed limits (in kilometres) and regulations in the States to be visited, checking weather and road conditions before travel, letting police know of travel plans if driving in rural areas, making way for the road trains (a semi-truck hauling 3 large trailers), etc. The car hire company will usually provide you with detailed information on driving rules and regulations, supplies to take (most importantly, plenty of water), emergency procedures, potential dangers such as wildlife and driving at night, as well as accommodations, routes and resources on the road. Study and preparation beforehand will insure a successful and enjoyable car vacation in Australia.
