Alresford
We set off this morning with messages from our respective husbands to ‘not walk too far, stay in the shade, take water and take it easy’, all because there was a yellow weather warning for heat. Now we’re obviously not used to the heat in the UK and after a few ‘nice’ days the warnings…

White Hill
Today’s walk was all about the views. We’ve previously done a walk starting at White Hill, just outside Kingsclere, but today we headed the opposite direction, past the gallops and the beautiful Watership Down (inspiration for the novel by Richard Adams).

We started along the track into West Green Common, heading towards Hazeley Bottom,…

Dummer
It was a grey, dull day when we set off for our walk around Dummer, although at least it wasn’t raining, yet. We found somewhere to park close to the church and set off on the footpath, which is part of the Wayfarer’s Walk. Passing a little pony in a field, the path rose before…
