Overview

We will walk in the company of Tim Craven, co-curator and exhibitor in the "Every Step of The Way" art exhibition at The Arc Gallery in Winchester this year.  We will take a steep descent on the South Downs Way down Whitewool Hanger before a steadily increasing ascent on the Monarch’s Way to complete a circuit of the National Nature Reserve.  

An appreciation of the magnificent site is achieved by taking in views from below and on top and expending a little energy in the process. 

Tim will talk to us along the way about his paintings, his inspirations and about his work with the Arborealists.
