| Date: Location: Walk Leader: Participants: Distance: Parking: Lunch: | 8th July 2015 Bickton near Fordingbridge Clive Clive, Peter, Ray, Rob 8.2 miles if you believe OS Map Finder 6.8 if the route plotted on Anquet is accurate. About 1 mile from where Ray said. Small gravel patch by crossroads and bus stop. The Bat and Ball ★★▲ |
There are some interesting properties to look at along the lane leading from the crossroads and down to the old mill. Then there is the fish farm and a pleasant walk across the fields with plenty of wild flowers coming into bloom. We passed some really tall Cow Parsley only too pleased that it was not Giant Hog Weed!
This is a nice varied walk with some open fields, some woodland and the benefit of some good stretches of water. It is also relatively flat although there are quite a few styles.
There was a large herd of cows in the field approaching Midgham Long Copse. Clive and Ray were bold Rob and Peter decided on caution and diverted. Happily there were no incidents.
It was quite a windy day - you can spot this from the way the barley was blowing around - and it was fairly cloudy but an ideal temperature for walking. A really good day out followed by a really good value lunch at the Bat and Ball. How lucky is that?
