Saturday 20th September 2025 - Winchester to Buriton
A test of endurance and resilience for Explorers & Network within Hampshire Scouts, your objective is to hike from Winchester to Buriton, nr Petersfield, a distance of 42.5km. With the route well waymarked, navigation might just be the easy part. The challenge comes from the combination of distance and elevation: the route is longer than a marathon and you’ll climb nearly 1000m of hills- the equivalent of England’s highest mountain.
We’ll record your departure time as you set off in teams of 4-7 from Winchester’s Log Cabin scout hut (SO22 6RH). You’ll pick up the start of the South Downs Way as you pass Winchester City Mill and follow its trails & occasional roads all the way to Queen Elizabeth Country Park.
