    Yes it is; yes to most of the next; if you like to the last but only if you undergo a strip search to ensure you have no gps about you or your bike. ;)

    I don't know an entirely off road route myself to join the two, but look at Open Cycle Map and bottom end of Swinley is not far from Frith Hill, which is a good starting point for Porridgepot and then onto Tunnel Hill. You will have to cross the M3 somewhere though.

    Just be aware that these are MOD areas and they're getting a bit picky about mountain bikers riding there. You are permitted within reason, but see the signs they've put up and be sensible and don't get in the army's way (or get yourself injured whilst on the land!). They're not happy with people posting GPS traces or maps all over the net though, hence hook up with someone who can show you the way.

    Another option is to join up with the Tunnel Hill Trolls. Or join the army!

    P.S. You can cycle round Tunnel Hill on your own for ages and not find a thing.
