After yesterday’s aborted attempt at the walk, and on a hot, sunny Saturday, I walked the second half (16+ miles!) of the Clarendon Way, a long-distance walk linking Salisbury and Winchester. This second half starts at Broughton, where the first half ended, and ends in the city of Winchester. It was an arduous, demanding walk for someone of my age (or of any age?)!
The day began with a train from home to Clapham Junction, then on to Winchester and, after an hour’s wait, a 1 hour bus ride to Broughton. I didn’t start the walk until 1:15, ending it just before 7pm!
My memory of the walk will be that it was arduous and a real struggle. On a very warm day and suffering from a groin(?) pain/strain (noticed when getting off the train at Winchester!), it was the opposite of pleasurable. I have also concluded that a walk of 16 miles probably exceeds the limits I should set myself. Also, that walking for over 5 hours with just one 20 minute break at a pub is not a good idea. Lessons hopefully learned.
