Saturday 25th May 2019

I would begin my 100 mile journey in Winchester to the west; heading across Hampshire and the Sussex counties to finish in Eastbourne, five-days later.

I apologise for the noise present with some of the narrated scenes - it wasn't until I turned the camera off that I recently the magnetic bite valve from my hydration bladder was stuck to my microphone! I'd also like to reassure you that these narrated scenes become more frequent as the days go on.

Many thanks go to John of Pure Hydration for guiding me to the start of the trail in Winchester. Please take a look at his website:
