Overview

We’d like to welcome you on our “Two Peaks” walk.  Hopefully the visibility will be good as there are some scenic views.  We’ll begin by walking along the disused railway line before heading to Exton and the first of the uphill stretches to the top of Beacon Hill.  There is then a welcome descent to Warnford before heading up Old Winchester Hill and a downward return to Meonstoke.  There will inevitably be some mud and wet plus, as the rain is set to continue this week, some slippery sections.  As there are a are a couple of steepish inclines/declines poles could be useful if you have some.
