Fleet Circular

SWC 318 Fleet Circular t=SWC.318

Train:  10:07AM South Western train from London Waterloo, arriving in Fleet at 11:04. Return trains are at 2 and 32 minutes past the hour.

Distance: 12.1 miles/19.5 km

Difficulty: 4 out of 10

This is a varied walk including some heathland, interesting features and a stretch along the Basingstoke Canal. More information and the walk instructions can be found here.

There are four pubs en route -- the best strategy would likely be an early lunch at the The Foresters (01252-616503) 4.5 km into the walk with an afternoon break at the Fox & Hounds (01252-663686) 14 km into the walk. Best to call ahead and confirm numbers.

Enjoy the walk!

Looking forward to this walk. Hopefully, I'll see someone at the station at 11:04.

Take care, Igor

4 walkers on this varied walk with drizzle at first but then lovely sun after lunch. Lunch at the Forester Pub with children's roasts for 3 of us. Two walkers went ahead for earlier trains. Mud was not too bad.

Correction: I'm told that the group ate at The Windmill, not The Foresters. The only food offering that Sunday was a roast but the 'children's portions' were judged to be more than sufficient and good value.
