Overview

Easy/moderate walk, on forest tracks or well worn paths; 5 miles in the morning, essentially flat with little undulation.  The afternoon is a fraction over 4 miles with some inclines (and downs!) but nothing significant.  The New Forest is not hilly and walking is not difficult but most areas offer pleasant views, on the pre-walk we saw several deer.

There are many options for "comfort breaks" particularly once we have started the walk; we will stop for coffee after roughly 1 hour.
