We are the Eastleigh Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Neil B.
The navigation student asked Professor Cunning ‘Is it possible to walk on 8 separate named trails on a route that is less than 10 miles?’. The Professor consulted OS Maps and replied ‘The Oxdrove Octathlon based around Alresford satisfies the criterion, but you will be walking several of the trails contemporaneously!’. Eastleigh Ramblers are proud to give you the opportunity to walk: (1) Watercress Way; (2) Three Castles Path; (3) Oxdrove Way; (4) Wayfarer’s Walk; (5) St James’ Way; (6) Itchen Way; (7) St Swithun’s Way; and (8) Allan King Way.

No booking required. Map OS Explorer OL32. Please bring refreshments and lunch for two breaks en route.
