New Forest 9 miles (Figure of 8)

Join us for an easy walk without any significant undulation, 5 miles in the morning and 4 miles after lunch.  There is neither stile nor gate on the walk - with one exception in the latter case and that is to gain access to the pub!

The Figure of 8 format allows walkers to opt either for the morning session (5 miles) or afternoon (4 miles) or of course, the full 9 miles.

It is mostly open countryside with pleasant views but there are some wooded areas helping to remind one that we are in the New Forest.

There are no toilets at the start point and the open ground and lack of shrubbery offers little cover until about 20 minutes into the walk.   

We will have a refreshment stop approx half way round.

The walk (and pub) are dog friendly but do be aware there are ponies and cattle almost anywhere (except in the pub!) and we cross 3 roads in the morning and 2 after lunch, so depending upon how your canine partner may react in those circumstances you may wish to have a lead readily available.
