Bishops Waltham to Bursledon 10 miles. Stuart's 50 stage 4

Walk from Bishops Waltham to Burseldon on the  river Hamble, via Botley. Getting to the start involves a train from Basingstoke to Winchester and bus route 69 to Bishops Waltham. Starting on the bridge across the lovely restored North Pond we'll exit the town on streets and paths, climbing to the hilltop village of Durley with good views all round. From there we'll descend back into the valley of the Hamble, eventually reaching Botley. From Botley we pause at Manor Farm country park then walk on into the lovely oak woodland that borders the upper reaches of the tidal Hamble. From there we pass boatyards to reach Burseldon. Depending on the timing of our arrival we'll take either train or bus to Southampton and train to Basingstoke from there.
