We are the Mid Wiltshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We walk from Upavon along the infant river Avon. We then walk a short road section to the pretty church at North Newnton and continue to Manningford Bohune. After crossing the main road we ascend gently onto the Downs where extensive views are to be hoped for. We return to Upavon, behind the Trenchard lines, and down Chismans Cleeve. The route uses, footpaths, tracks, bridleways and a short section of road. There are no steep ascents but there is long steady ascent with good footing. The descent is steep in parts. Expect some stiles and possible mud.
Please bring lunch and refreshments. Sticks may also be useful. There may be livestock enroute.
You must book with the leader in the week preceeding. Text preferred. You are not confirmed until you get a reply. Dogs are at the leader's discretion.
Meet and park carefully along the Andover Road near St Mary the Virgin Church, Andover Road, Upavon, Wiltshire.
