THE ITCHEN PROJECT LEG 6 - SMILING SWAYTHLING

The Itchen Way is a 51.2 km long-distance footpath following the River Itchen from its source near Hinton Ampner House to its mouth at Woolston.  The Way finishes at Sholing railway station.  The Eastleigh Ramblers Itchen Project comprises a series of circular walks which encompass the complete Itchen Way.  Leg 6 leaves Swaythling and heads up to Bishopstoke on the Itchen Way then retraces back south on the Itchen Way to Swaythling and beyond to Bitterne Manor railway station before sneaking back north.  For those mathematically minded Leg 6 is a circular walk with an infinite eccentricity!
