Hi, not sure why/what permissive sections but there are no locked gates for access. The line goes past North Farm and thru to Wickham and onto Knowle. A new section is being resurfaced at the Knowle end but I have not been there yet. Surface is a bit stony by all accounts. Knowle to Fareham is not really very scenic, it is accessed by road and riders need to go thru a tunnel under the M27, but the council has put mounting blocks either end of the tunnel. I am based at Soberton and enclose some pics of that area. Hope that's helpful
