Off peak on weekend?

[faringdon]

Hi,
I wish to trave from Camberley to Bournemouth.
Leave saturday approx 1400hrs.
Return the following day at approx 1100hrs.

Presumably these are all off peak times and i can select an "off peak return" (£64.40)?

The "super off peak return" (£43.90) looks a bit unknown in terms of exactly which trains can be taken?

The Off Peak Return between Camberley and Bournmouth has no restrictions at all at weekends.

The Super Off Peak Return cannot be used be used on trains timed to depart after 04:29 and before 12:01 on Monday to Saturdays (including Public Holidays). There are no restrictions on Sundays.

Given that you're planning to travel out around 14:00 on a Saturday, returning on a Sunday the Super Off Peak Return will meet your needs.
