This walk starts from the Test Way car park beside the John of Gaunt pub in Horsebridge. (SO20 6PU) leaving at 10.00.
We start on the Test Way then climb up to get some good views (hopefully) over the Test Valley. Good tracks and quiet roads for most of the walk. Coffee break at the top and lunch at The Bear and Ragged Staff, Romsey. About 9 miles.
This is a very popular pub and they have asked me for pre orders by 18.00 on Monday 29th. I will therefore need your orders by 16.00 on Monday and they say they will not accept late orders. There is of course the option to bring a picnic.
Please let me know if you would like to join us and if you would like to order lunch.
Thanks,
Bryan
