<<< POP UP WALK: Poet's Stone and wild garlic
Sun 9th Apr 2017
Walk Details:
A circular from Petersfield in Hampshire - The walk explores a beautiful part of the South Downs National Park with a pub lunch after 7 miles at The Hawkley Inn (please see website www.hawkleyinn.co.uk if you wish to pre-order food) or bring your own food to eat on the attractive village green where there are several benches.
See Petersfield’s connections with John Small; King William III; Peter the Great; and Wetherspoons !
Find out about Steep’s connection to John “Day of the Triffids” Wyndham.
The climb to the Poet’s Stone and afterwards the descent on the Hangers’ Way to Hawkley are both steep, but the spectacular 30-mile sweeping view of the South Downs rewards the effort.
After 10 miles, there will be an escape point at Liss Station – eg, the 16:29 train, with rail bus, arrives Waterloo c.18:39.
For those who wish for a longer walk, the leader will return to Petersfield Station by one of several routes aiming for either the 17:04 (Waterloo 1915) or 1724 (Waterloo 1940) c.15-17 miles in total.
