We wish you luck during the upcoming exam season. Don't worry, we've still got plenty of exciting events coming your way to calm your exam nerves.
Exams got you down? Need a revision break? Or lucky enough to not have exams or be a PGR and just need to chill after a long week? For this weekend’s hillwalk, we’re going up the Black Down hill, on a slightly more challenging 18km walk from Haslemere to Liphook.
The walk will head out of Haslemere and head south towards Black Down, before scaling the hill and reaching the “Temple of the Winds”, whatever that is. From there we head along to the small village of Fenhurst, then go north-west up past numerous places with “Marley” in their name. Finally heading west along the Sussex Border Path, down through Stanley Common and into Liphook.
The train we will be catching for this walk is the 09:13 from Southampton Central, where we change at Havant before arriving in Haslemere for 10:31. This will cost £16.55 with a railcard, or £25.10 without one.
FB Event pageLocal walks ranging from 12 to 26km (occasionally more), usually every Saturday during term time.
These walks are open to everyone, the only cost is the train ticket and your lunch.
