Trail Reviews
OK, let's tick off the negatives first: It was way too hot to hike. The car park was £7.5 - exorbitant. The beginning of the tour on the "beach" long was really stupid. Only climb over big stones. We then dodged onto the street and walked on asphalt first 😥. Once again there wasn't a single bank on the whole tour. - - - That's it with the nagging. The rest was just great. The best and most varied hike we've had here in the New Forest. Only small paths with luckily plenty of shade. A meadow of butterflies (or moths), thousands, it just fluttered. Narrow winding paths that are hardly recognizable, very dark forests and then meadows again or sometimes narrow through rapeseed fields - today there was everything. Except people. Hit: 0. Apart from us, no one was crazy enough to hike in the heat. Shortly before the finish there was soda and ice cream as a reward 😊
