The walk will start just outside the ticket office at Winchester station. We will then walk through Winchester avoiding the High Street and the Cathedral Close before accessing the path bordering the flood plain at St Cross. The walk then follows an extended loop back to Winchester - via St Catherine's Hill for great views across the South Downs National Park.

Once back in Winchester we will pass close to the entrance of the Xmas Market located in the Cathedral Close. At this point the walk is completed and people can some shopping in the Christmas market. I can recommend the Cheese stalls!

This walk is shorter than normal as it allows more time to visit the Christmas market.

Please arrive at **10.00am**. The walk will leave promptly at **10.15am** or earlier if everyone arrives on time. I will arrive a little before. We should be finished by 1pm(ish).

**Parking:** The cheapest carparks (according to parkopedia) are one of the two train station car parks.
**Meet:** Out the front of Winchester Train Station
**Address**: Station Hill, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8TJ
**What3words**: donor.relishes.sprint

**Dogs**: This walk isn't really suitable for dogs. So no dogs on this walk please.

**Fee**: There is a small charge of 2 pounds for this walk which goes towards Meetup fees and the running of the group.

**Weather**: If it looks like it's going to be a washout and we need to cancel I will post here in the comments before 9pm the night before the walk and cancel the event. No comment / cancellation means we are going ahead.

**Some Other Notes (Please Read!)**

* It's great if other people can also organise walks for the group. Please direct message me if you would like to do that.
* Leading walks not your thing? Then how about organising a pub lunch, dinner out, a trip to a country fair, festival or other social event?

**Please Think About Your Fellow Wanderers 😇**
I apologise in advance, but some people abuse the sign-up process making it difficult for everyone else😮‍💨.

* If you can't come please try and cancel at least 48 hours in advance if you can so waitlisted people have time to join the walk.
* Please don't **continually** sign up for events and drop out at the last minute. It's selfish, as others cannot confirm their plans as they are stuck on the waitlist.
* Please don't confirm for multiple walks on the same day with different groups. Be decisive 🙂. It's ok if you are on multiple waitlists.
* Please don't "no show" (without explanation).
* People who abuse these guidelines will be banned.
