Ghosts, Hills and Downs in Hampshire, Saturday 25th October 200812 walkers, 22 miles - leaders Jill Goddard and Paul Lawrence
There were 12 of us, a mix of LDWA and SWC, and Jill lead at a very good fast pace. The pub was closed for holiday but we had been warned to bring sandwiches. We sheltered out of the wind in Harting Down to eat our lunch. It was rather windy but the views were attractive with some lovely autumn colours. The tea stop was excellent, with a live fire, and the tea break was well deserved, we've had to work hard for it! We got back to Rowlands Castle one hour ahead of your estimated time, partly due to a short lunch break and partly due to the group's good pace. The route devised was lovely and the weather kind to us but a little overcast and windy.
