Olivers Battery 5 mile

Thursday, 20 January 2022

Start time: 10:30
(Estimated finish time: 12:45)

Moderate 5 miles / 8.1 km

Group Winchester

To Hursley & Silkstead.

Starting point

Oliver's Battery Recreation Ground car park.

Grid reference: SU458272
Nearest postcode: SO22 4HQ
Start time: 10:30

Additional notes

This is a circular walk

Please park in the recreation ground car park or, if full, on Priors Way. The number 5 bus stops at the end of Oliver’s Battery Rd South with a 10 minute walk to the Recreation Ground.

The walk will be mainly on paths with reasonable surfaces or on very quiet roads as the rain has made everywhere slippery. However please note that there will be some paths which are not surfaced and a stick will be useful. 

We will walk nearly to Hursley and then across to Silkstead coming back via Hurdle Way. There will be two or three stiles at most and depending on the route and weather may be none. 

I shall book a table for lunch at The Dolphin in Hursley. I am doing it this way as many people are happy to walk but not so keen on the pub at present and I would like people to feel happy to join the walk. (Lift to the pub possible for those on the bus).

You may use the "Ask  question ... " email link above to book a place on the walk. Please state whether you will be joining me for lunch. I need to know lunch numbers by 6pm on Monday 17th and walk numbers by 6pm on Wednesday 19th.

We have a comprehensive programme of walks and work to protect paths and the local countryside. We also carry out practical tasks such as clearing overgrown paths and replacing stiles with gates.

Give us a try!

This is one of hundreds of Ramblers group walks for all ages and abilities every week - all led by our experienced walk leaders.

You’re welcome to join us on any of our walks to see if the Ramblers is for you. Then, once you’ve enjoyed the views, fun, exhilaration and good company, it’s just a case of becoming a member.

Do make sure you're fit enough and have the right footwear and clothing for the walk you want to do, though. You can contact the group or leader if in doubt.
