Soberton to Hambledon
This walk starts at the White Lion Inn at Soberton and mainly follows the route of the Wayfarers Way to Hambledon – a short loop on other paths and then uses the same path for the return journey. The terrain and views are excellent – seeing it all twice is no hardship. A pleasant evening

Travelled to France on Thursday for a few days.

It’s an uplifting experience to have a graceful and powerful hawk fly onto your gloved hand to retrieve a morsel of meat. Have
King John`s Hill to Selborne
Great walk! Can`t recommend it enough. Has to be worth 9/10 on the Deacy satisfaction scale. See the map here. Unfortunately – there are no pix (apart from this one) as the AA`s on the digi expired and I hadn`t done the boy scout thing. Pity really – there were some excellent views on the
