Report

I walked this from Hedge End to Bursledon, almost all downhill. Initially on quiet roads with pavements which have dropped kerbs. The offroad paths are largely well surfaced - gravel, soil, or grass. However, short stretches are muddy or rutted which could become slippery after rain. The route is easy to follow. There are toilets and a picnic area, with a play area, a short detour from the path. Unfortunately, there are three stiles and a kissing gate which might be barriers for some. The final section is along a paved lane, which crosses quite a busy road, but there is a central island.

Report

I walked this back in September. I could have sworn I reviewed it at the time, but clearly I forgot!

The route I walked went from Hedge End to Burseldon, starting on the main road through Hedge End where there are benches and a well-stocked, working public toilet.

To be honest, I think I remember the route well enough but I didn't make notes at the time so I won't add much detail. There were a couple of small sections of road walking and some of the route was on dirt/grass.

I really enjoyed walking this route - I would do it again and would recommend it to others. I knocked off one star for the very small amount of road walking just outside Bursledon station. I have walked that bit a few times before, but I personally never feel 100% comfortable.
