Spread Eagle Liss

  • Meet at West Town Car Park for car share to Liss, leaving at 9.15.
  • Park at the Spread Eagle, Liss postcode GU33 6JU, grid reference SU772285 for walk start at 10 a.m. We should be able to leave pre-orders for lunch with the pub before we set off.
  • We take a footpath south as far as Liss station then turn north-east along trackbed of the old railway towards Bordon. This route goes alongside the infant River Rother for a while and is a local nature reserve.

Our halfway point is at the entrance to the military training area of Longmoor Inclosure and there is a handy log we can sit on to recharge our batteries with any hot or cold drink we have brought along.

Our return route goes down to the London-Portsmouth railway line and then turns and crosses over our outward route.

Lunch is booked at the pub for 12.30.

It should be generally dry underfoot – on the recce there was one path which looked as though parts might be muddy after a rainy spell, but this can be avoided if it proves to be muddy.

The total distance is 3.8 miles with only 100 feet of height gain and no stiles.
