GPS traces of runs from Hursley



This is an amalgamation of all the GPS traces from my runs from Hursley (not just the ones detailed in this blog).

Today, Andy and I did a 7.8 mile loop that covered the little not-before-run road to the west of the Violet Hill marker.

Where next I wonder?  Further in to Ampfield woods, or maybe to the east of Yew Hill

Circular trip to Olivers Battery


This 7.55 mile route (MapMyRun) is totally on road and therefore is suitable for when its really muddy. It also hits the heady heights of over 150m of elevation.

The first mile is downhill and flat to get you nicely warmed up.  Then it's a long but not too steep climb towards Sparsholt, turning right on to Sarum Road at the intersection before the woods.   Three more hills follow but then from the half way point of the run it's basically downhill or flat all the way home.

You'll need to use the subway to cross the busy Badger Farm Road.
