This post may take some time, even years! In 2019 I started walking the South Downs Way starting in Winchester in the South of England with the aim of spending the odd day here and there completing different sections and eventually ending 100 miles later in Eastbourne.
As I live just next to the Downs it is possible to do most sections as day trips but for the furthermost point from my home, the historic city of Winchester, we stayed overnight in the nearby village of Exton.
The first day’s walk followed a route of about 12 miles from Winchester to Exton.
