Overview

Dear Ramblers 

The 2 golf course walk consists of 4 miles in the morning and 4 in the afternoon.

We will be parking at 5 Bridges Rdat 10:00 ( can use Blue Star no1 bus or car share) and walking  up Bushfield Common to Oliver's Battery and then across to South Winchester golf club for coffee at £1:50 (please bring cash: I have secured a deal). Then we walk to Pitt, Winchester Village and then across Royal Winchester Golf  course to our house in Dean Lane for (there's no such thing as) a free lunch; bread and soup.

After lunch we will walk by footpaths and lanes to Oram's  Harbour and then on along the railway line path through the University back to 5 Bridges Rd.Please feel free to leave and join at will. 

We have room for two more passengers from Dean Lane. Please let us know by Tuesday evening whether you are coming so as I can buy the commensurate amount of bread at Waitrose. (Dogs welcome).
