Overview

This is a circular walk using parts of the Monarch's and South Downs' Ways including some tracks and short stretches of quiet roads.  There are great views, if fine - see pictures attached (though I can't guarantee there will be hang gliders!).  There are 7 stiles and a number of gates, one very steep descent on grass, and otherwise the ups and downs you expect in the Hampshire countryside near Old Winchester Hill.  Lunch will be in East Meon and orders for food at the Izaak Walton pub should be given to me by 6pm on Wednesday 25th October.  The menu can be found at  https://theizaakwalton.com/menus.  There are benches near the pub for those who wish to picnic.
