Fancy some fresh air and explore nature? Join us for a day walking in the New Forest!

This time our Hillwalking Club will be leading a short walk around in the New Forest, this is a great chance to get into hillwalking and explore the local area. This area has plenty of woodland and scenery and of course the famous New Forest ponies!

The route will be 10km, friendly to beginners, and we will proceed at a fairly slow pace with our experienced club members. So don't worry about you can not catch us:)

What you need to prepare:

• You will need an off-peak day return to Brockenhurst which will cost £6.05 with a railcard or £9.20 without. We will be getting the train leaving Southampton Central at 09:00, but we recommend you arrive 20 minutes early (8:40) to meet up with the group and buy tickets if you have not done so already. 


• Walking boots if you have one, especially as this walk involves some countryside walking. If you do wear trainers or other footwear, you should expect some mud.


• At least 500ml of water (ideally 1litre)


• A packed lunch( you will be unable to buy lunch on route）


• A backpack to carry lunch and other items


• A raincoat (just in case)

About the ticket:

This walking is totally free but you need to book the train tickets by yourself.

You will need an off-peak day return to Brockenhurst which will cost £6.05 with a railcard or £9.20 without. We will be getting the train leaving Southampton Central at 09:00, but we recommend you arrive 20 minutes early (8:40) to meet up with the group and buy tickets if you have not done so already. You will find committee members at both the North entrances-the side near Starbucks (SO15 1GW) to help get paper tickets and to make your way to the correct platform. Committee will be hard to miss as we will be wearing bright red clothing.

We look forward to seeing you all on the walk soon! If you have any questions, please email giveitago@soton.ac.uk.
