Overview

A circular autumn walk through 'undulating' Hampshire countryside; walking on footpaths, bridleways and some quiet lanes.  We will be passing through woodland and across fields, hopefully enjoying the autumn colours and some mud if it has rained between the walk and the recce.

The pace will be brisk.

We will stop for lunch in a field, as there are no other suitable lunch spots, so bring snacks, packed lunch and fluids.

There are no toilets along the route.

No dogs as there were many pheasants when the recce was done.
