Walking in the Meon valley and beyond

Welcome to the Meon Group. Our members are mainly in Fareham and Gosport and the southern section of the Meon valley. We offer up to three walks on almost every Sunday, plus a number of mid-week walks.  

Our walks are usually in southern Hampshire and parts of West Sussex. They range from shorter leisurely walks of 5 or 6 miles to more strenuous routes of up to 15 and 16 miles, so there’s something for everyone.
We have our own local grades for them:  A (14-16 miles at a brisker pace, shorter breaks); B (10-12 miles at a steady pace); C+ (5-7 miles at at steady pace) C (5-7 miles at a more leisurely pace) 

Each year we run a number of coach walks to explore other parts of the south of England. Currently we are walking the South Downs Way as a series of linear walks.  We will reach  Eastbourne in June 2024.  

Some walks are in pretty flat coast terrain while others explore the undulating chalk hills and valleys of the South Downs. The western parts of the Weald are in sandier terrain with gentle hills.  

Our leaders endeavour to make our walks both interesting and friendly. Their routes take you to some of the best places to walk in our lovely quiet countryside. They try their best to ensure the pace of the walk suits everyone in the group so that they can enjoy being out exploring the area [see earlier for details of our local grades and pace].  Do come and join in one of our walks
