We are the Winchester Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Starting out from Preston Candover outside the post office/village shop (opposite the school) we will walk anticlockwise in a North Easterly loop along small roads and tracks through the village of Bradley and up towards Ellisfield before heading South past Moundsmere Manor Estate to the start point.
I pre-walked this last week when there were some very muddy patches and I will be revising the route slightly to try and avoid these areas BUT cannot guarantee success.
The first half involves a steady ascent but there is nothing too challenging. And there were no stiles though my revised route may have a few....!
Please bring a packed lunch and any drinks/snacks required - we will stop for a mid-morning break and a lunch break approximately two-thirds of the way round.
I strongly advise walk poles and gaiters for those who have them.
Please let me know if you intend to join this walk and whether you would like to car-share (particularly relevant given the distance from Winchester) and I will try to coordinate if necessary.
Meet point just outside the village shop/PO on the main road through the village and adjacent to the village hall. There are several parking spaces on the left (coming from the South) before you reach the shop and also in Stenbury Drive to the right.
