Training walks for Dudley's Dawdle
Tuesday 09-02-10 Took X12 bus to Lymington and then 112 to Hythe. This was a new route I had not tried before and is a part of the Solent Way and a walk that I will have to cover in the main walk. From Hythe around the southern fringe to the A326, and then left alongside the B3054 to Beaulieu. Although accross the New Forrest this is not a very nice walk as it is not possible to walk off road. At Beaulieu the path goes alonside the Beaulieu River and to Bucklers Hard. From there there is a long stretch on country lanes and eventually arrives at Lymington by the ferry terminal. Although I had estimated this as an 11 mile walk the time it takes indicates it must be about 16miles. Distance 16miles.
Due to my medical condition this was the only walk I attempted in February. having been told originall that the wait would be 4-6 weeks, it was clear after twoo weeks of waiting that I would not be able to do the walk as planed in March/April starting on March 8th so all Youth Hostel bookings were transferrred [apart from two] to dates in September and October, with a planned start date of August 30th.
Total distance for the month 16 miles.
