Last week we walked 100 miles or to be exact 105 miles along the South Downs way, as Boris has mentioned we are doing a staycation. The whole event ran smoothly and we had a great time along the route, we managed to get the book from Amazon and Dan and Jim managed to help us through the course of the South Downs way, their maps and ideas were the most helpful.
Day 1
Stayed :- at my mums
Ate :- The Shoe in Exton
We made it to the shoe in exton.
The shoe is 12 miles from Winchester and where I grew up. Walking from Winchester to exton is really beautiful with a Day one is on the blog what I didn’t know about the South Downs Way!
Day 2
Stayed :- South Harting Garden Cottage
Ate :- The lady cooked us an amazing dinner
Still not out of the territory that I had grown up, we got dropped at Exton and walked through the village with the uncontrollable holly hoax which is beautiful summer time flower, we crossed the busy A32 with motorbikes going about their Sunday run and up to Winchester Hill where we looked and saw Beacon Hill in the far away corner as well as Buster Hill which we are walking to today.
Once pasted Winchester hill we crossed into a field of Cows, where the farmer announced their was a bull in field.. down the field and into Meon Springs and fly fishing. Once we passed Meon springs we walked up to Clanfield and onto Buster hill where we stopped for a pack lunch. You could hear the humdrum of the A3.
After lunch we walked down Buster Hill and onto Queen Elizabeth Country Park and stopped for a tea break, you have to realise I love teaaaaaaaaaaaaa and noticed on the route we couldn’t stop anywhere for tea or snacks which made this walk even more exclusive.
The amount of animals we managed to see on the trip such as the common blue
We walked fast to South Harting as the pub was closing at 5.00pm on a Sunday and not opening to Tuesday, South Harting is about 4 miles from Petersfield, we stayed in a quaint thatched cottage and the kind lady made us dinner and even managed to get a bottle of wine. I did bang my head on the beams and fall over for not tying my walking boots correctly.
