Overview

Meet at 10:30 in the Priory car park opposite Carisbrooke Castle. Down Lukely Brooke to Garston and round to Gatcombe, across country to Blackwater and along the railway to Shide before heading over Mount Joy back to the start. 8 miles, 4 hours, bring a packed lunch. Undergrowth is growing up, so some nettles on one section.
