We are the Winchester Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Thursday’s figure of eight walk is in a delightful part of the New Forest. The morning walk is about 5.5 miles over to Ibsley Common where the heather is looking spectacular at the moment.
After lunch at the Red Shoot Inn or a picnic nearby, the afternoon walk is just over 4 miles. It takes us over Red Shoot Plain, to the beautiful views over Blashford Lakes, returning across Rockford Common.
Lunch is at the Red Shoot Inn or a picnic nearby. If you are having lunch at the pub, please let me have your menu choice by 5pm Wednesday 30th August.
only one stile but a short patch of nettles and some overgrown bracken. If you usually use poles, they may be useful on the hills.
Red Shoot Inn Car Park For those not eating in the pub, please use Appleslade car park and join us at the pub for the start.
