5 miles at Meonstoke

It is an easy introduction to the New Year at around 4.25 miles. There is one slow incline in the middle but nothing too challenging, and only one stile. There is a limited amount of road walking but only on quiet lanes.

The course is inclined to be muddy if there has been rain in the days beforehand, so a walking pole would be a good idea for those who use them. There are however some splendid country views, assuming we can see them.

We pass the delightful 13th century grade II listed St Andrews Church at Meonstoke and a unique war memorial which is worthy of note.
