General Notes
This walk is made up of two loops, both loops start and finish at the West Meon old Railway Staton, as follows: The morning loop is 11.5 miles long with approximately 1825ft of ascent, walking westwards incorporating Hinton Ampner, then back to the cars where we will have our sandwich lunch (so there's no need to bring it with you on the walk) from 1:00pm to 1:30pm. The afternoon loop is 9 miles in length but with approximately the same ascent (1850ft) as we will walk eastwards taking in Old Winchester Hill and some of the South Downs Way returning back at the cars at approximately 4:30pm
