Third Sunday Hill Challenge - Leydene and Beacon Hill Exton

Circular route through the beautiful Hampshire countryside through Leydene, East Meon and Exton returning via Droxford, Soberton and Newtown. We are only 2 miles from Waterlooville even though we come under Winchester District Council. Includes a refreshment stop at a local tea room (fab cakes!)

This is a very hilly and challenging route and is not intended for beginners, however, you will not be left on your own at the back, there will always be someone with you, it is not a speed trial. The hills may be very challenging but you go up them any way you can, even if you need to walk. The route is worth the effort and very scenic with fabulous views. We will stop for refreshments about half way round (12.5ish miles).

This is an enjoyable but very challenging route, great for developing your hill climbing skills. The return route is much easier with some good downhills. Then just a few little lumpy bits on the way home.
