Walk Description:

This is an Intermediate/Gear 2 walk (the distance is greater than a Gear 1/Intermediate walk) of approximately 4 miles with a couple of different options according to the ground conditions. Maybe one or two short steep ramps and some longer hills can be included depending on sign ups, but as a rule the walk includes gentle inclines and hard tracks through woods. 

Intermediate - A faster pace than Gear 1 and an established technique is key, but if necessary a little more recovery time for those that need it. 

Gear 2 - A faster pace gained through technique. There will be less recovery time.

Location Notes:

Coming from Andover, take the Tidworth Road off A342. Follow the road through Great Shoddensden. Go past the tank crossing where we used to park, continue up the hill for another 0.2miles and then turn left on to Benin Road, immediately after Poppies Day Nursery. Follow Benin Road for 0.2 miles, leaving houses on your left. After 50/100yrds take the first left turn (just after a small brick building/shed hidden in the trees on your left), turn left, parking is 0.1miles on your left. If you get to a turning circle you have gone just too far. I think these are the correct What3Words: pumps.raking.caressing
