South Down Way 1997

100 miles, Eastbourne to Winchester.

I decided to walk the South Downs Way "because it was there", and undertook the 100 mile trek with a variety of companions. The stages undertaken were a bit 'out of sequence', and were:

Date Stage Distance Time Comments
11/5/97 Washington to Amberley 6 miles 1:38 Solo - to wear-in a new pair of walking boots!
18/5/97 Amberley to Buriton 23 miles 7:05 With Martin Harper
25/5/97 Newmarket Inn to Washington 23 miles 7:13 Solo
12/6/97 Buriton to Winchester 24 miles 8:24 With Dan Ecott and Ben Rae
