The final leg (12miles) of the St Swithun’s Way long-distance walk was probably the best of the three despite the uninspiring few miles getting out of Alton.
The journey outward was from home to Clapham Junction, then to Alton (by a slow, stopping train), and on the return it was a train from Farnham (it’s on the same line as Alton) to CJ and to home.
A quick half-pint in the Anchor Inn at Lower Froyle was interesting because of the very low beams in the small and dark bar. I captured a video (see at the end of this blog post) of some noisy sheep at a farm just outside Farnham. A young lad was bringing in newly-born lambs (hanging by their legs!), quickly followed by their mums.
Another long day and, like the other two legs, not a great walk. Very little sunshine and a chilly breeze, but no rain and no coat required.
So now I need another challenge, possibly the 24-mile Clarendon Way from Salisbury to Winchester. If I can work out to get from and to the midway point I should be able to do it in two stages.
