We are the Winchester Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
The walk ascends on paths to Magdalen Down where good views should be had. A short stroll on a quiet country lane takes us to farmland where we will pause for BYO refreshments. We will then walk back to Winchester along the Itchen Valley with a BYO picnic lunch stop along the way.
Please bring refreshments for the day.
There will be some muddy parts so sturdy boots are important and given the time of year plenty of layers including waterproofs are important so as to keep warm and dry. Jeans are not a good idea as if wet these get heavy, cold and chafing.
Start at 67 Quarry Rd Winchester. There is a Number 64 bus stop nearby on Alresford Rd (the Quarry Rd stop), see map. On street parking all day on Sunday is usually available on Quarry Rd. The Chesil St multi-storey CP, free on Sunday, is a 12 minute walk away and on the route back, saving a hill climb at the end of the walk.
