**WILDISH CHRISTMAS WALK -**

Join Bex as we do part of the Staunton Way - Finchdean to Chalton. From Finchdean, we’ll climb up onto the top of the downs. At 140m, there are panoramic views across the downs — from the Solent in the south to Queen Elizabeth Country Park in the north.

The descent leads us through woodland and past the well-known “church in a field” at Idsworth.

This is a hilly walk, but remember: what goes up must come down!
