Overview

A  pleasant walk in the New Forest, primarily on tracks which will hopefully avoid the mud and boggy areas.

The walk splits evenly into 2 halves, with a pub stop at lunch time at the Red Shoot Inn.

If you wish to join the walk please email leader by Tuesday 10 February with your choice of meal from the pub menu, as the lunch needs to be pre-ordered.
