New Years Resolution 11 miler. Byways, Falcons and Dolphins

Start the year as you mean to carry on - blow away the January Blues with fresh air and friendly company !

Starting from Winchester, we will walk to Hursley, using Whiteshute and Silkstead Lane ancient byways, and the Monarch and Clarendon Ways to get there and back.

We will stop at The Dolphin Pub in Hursley where they offer a reasonably priced sandwich and soup lunch, before returning to Winchester in a circular walk.

There are amazing views as we leave and return to Winchester, quiet lanes to walk, and we are even likely to see a pair of peregrine falcons as we pass Silkstead Manor.
