A Figure of 8 Walk around Testwood Lakes & Lower Test nature reserves. Please bring lunch and wear appropriate walking boots because the route could be muddy. Drinks after the walk at the Salmon Leap Pub.

A hilly and scenic route in and around the South Downs starting from East Meon. From Workhouse Lane car park, East Meon. The route goes through All Saints Church, Park Hill, Pidham Cottages, Limekiln Lane, Butser Hill, Queen Elizabeth Country Park, then returning to Butser Hill, Storylands Farm, Salt Hill, Coombe Cross then East Meon. It could take around six hours. There will be regular breaks and a lunch stop. There could be a mixture of conditions and terrain, so please bring appropriate clothing, and waterproofs. We could go to Ye Olde George Inn pub afterwards.

A circular walk starting from West Marden and encompassing the villages of East Marden and Compton. Hopefully, we'll encounter some bluebells on this walk too. Please note that as parking is limited, I have limited the attendance to 16 and car sharing is encouraged.

Put on your dancing shoes (aka trainers) for an evening of ceilidh dancing with SHOCC Dances! **The last ceilidh of the season** £14 cash on the door and bring your own drinks. I've reserved 10 tickets for us. Please book on here rather than on the SHOCC website. If we become full, I can reserve more tickets. Meet at 7.15pm. Dancing will start at 7.30pm and finish at 11pm. If you've never done ceilidh dancing before, don't worry, they'll teach you all the steps. It's really fun and you're likely to get very sweaty! Please see their website for further details http://www.shocc.co.uk/ **Please note I am only organising and not necessarily attending. I will need to let SHOCC know the Tuesday before how many are attending from Hampshire Young Walkers so they can release any unused tickets to the public, so please book on before then**

Leaving Broughton we’ll head north across fields and through the picturesque villages of Nether Wallop, Middle Wallop and Over Wallop, continuing through more open fields and along country roads. Lunch will be at around 7.5-8 miles at the top of a hill with views looking back to where we’ve come from, after which we’ll carry on through woodland and join the Clarendon Way back to Broughton, for a drink in the Grey Hound pub. Bring a packed lunch and something to sit on if the ground is wet.

A long circular walk starting in the village of Vernham Dean. The route is undulating with some steep uphill’s and nice views of the Hampshire/ Berkshire countryside. We’ll follow sections of the Pewsey Vale Circular Way and Test Way, pass through 5 woodlands (hopefully with bluebells in flower!) and the villages of Combe, Linkenholt and Upton. Please bring lots of water, snacks and a packed lunch. We’ll have breaks as needed and lunch will be around mile 7. Including breaks, the walk is likely to take 7.5 hours. We’ll go for a very well-deserved drink at the end at The George Inn in the village. If you would like to stay for dinner at 6.15pm please also book on to the meal so I can organise pre-ordering.

If you would like to stay for dinner after the walk, I have booked a table for 15 people at The George Inn at 6.15pm. Deadline to book on is Friday 18th April as we need to pre-order. I’ll send out the menu nearer the time to those booked on.

Burley is a popular Forest village with an intriguing folklore and history. There are several gift shops in the village that have a magic and folklore theme. The walk starts at the main car park (with public toilets) in the village centre before setting out on a circular walk around the edge of the village. There is a gentle uphill climb along Castle Hill Lane where there are good views across the Avon Valley. The route passes an ancient hill fort on Castle Hill before descending back to the village and along the edge of the open forest. Feel free to bring snacks/packed lunch but there will be a visit to the Queens Head pub once the walk is finished for those that want to have lunch there. There are also plenty of other pubs, restaurants / tea rooms and cafes in Burley should anyone wish to go somewhere else.
