Hampshire Hills

So on a sunny day in October, Mnemosyne, Theia and Prometheus went for a walk on the Hampshire hills. Starting and ending near watership down. The original plan was to hike along the route from this site but we were delayed leaving; we had finally signed up for the Oxfam trailwalker that morning. So happily and we headed off, throwing the planed walk out the window (the idea that is not the map 1) that would be littering and 2) have you seen the price of os maps?).

Hills were a novel feature to our merry band of titans. They walked to the top of each hill only to come back down the other side. Unlike their last walk there was no cow to gingerly walk around but there were plenty of giggles to break the peace and quiet of the country side. After 8 or so miles lunch became an issue as did a sit so a convinently fallen tree was found.



Then onwards we plodded, the novelty of hills soon wore off. Time was against us, it look like sunset wouldn't be long and what another hill? Leaveing Theia to exclaim 'Oh another hill... I'm so grateful'. This made the hill harder work as breathing had to be fitted around fits of laughter but in next to no time we were at the top and heading down toward the car. Onwards to the pub!

Ripley Walk in the Dark (almost)

As a stop off on our way to London for the weekend, Mnemosyne and Prometheus ventured forth to the town of Ripley.
It was a quiet (excluding our giggling) 6 miles walk called Canons and Cornmills.
Due to delays on our arrival we realised that would be pushing for time.
Nothing that a couple of bars of chocolate wouldn't solve as an energy boost :)

It was a calm peaceful walk no major gradients or anything to contend with. Just one cow in a field to carefully shuffle by. The walk itself was mainly following the canal with some a large cut across a golf course. Which must of contained the worlds largest bunker!

However as time moved on the light did fade but we managed to finish just as it got to dark. Well timed in my opinion :)

It was worth the stop off and pointed out that as we head in to winter the chance do walks after work will be fading.
