September Walk

1st August walk St Catherine's Hill Winchester

Another glorious morning for our walk this time in Winchester off Junction ten. A convenient carpark alongside the river from where we fifteen walkers followed the narrow bank before skirting the steep hill. We then crossed over the motorway passing the stone memorial inscribed with the names of Maggie Thatcher and some of the cabinet who granted permission to cut this savage slash through a beautiful area. Then we made a careful crossing of the golf course, alert to the sound of "fore". Completing the circular walk we arrived back at the river where we observed a nesting moorhen family.
