Itchen Navigation Pub Walk Start Woodmill, Southampton Our annual stroll along the old Itchen Navigation towpath, calling in on a few pubs on the way. Depart from Woodmill Bridge, Southampton at 9.30am, reaching Winchester around 3 to 3.30pm. The Black Boy is now closed Monday afternoons so that is out. Last year we went to the Queen Inn and this was popular so we'll do that again then probably other pubs (The Black Boy reopens at 5pm); you can always phone to find out where we are. Later on we usually we finish off with a curry somewhere. Join us en route if you like - we expect to be at Steam Town, Bishopstoke Road, Eastleigh at 11am*, and the Bridge, Shawford around 1.30pm. Please note that departure is now at 9.30am once again, following a few years when there has been no open pub to go to a 11am in Bishopstoke. Steam Town is a micro-brewery and brewery tap that opened November 2017 and has quickly found much favour in Eastleigh, and it's on our route - just turn left, not right, at Bishopstoke Road! *Steam Town very kindly opened early for us at 11am last year, and they will do so again, so if joining us at Eastleigh then Steam Town at 11am is the place to be. Contact Pete Horn for more information. Phone: 07968 809291. |

Depart from Woodmill Bridge, Southampton at 9.30am, reaching Winchester around 3pm. The Black Boy is now closed Monday afternoons so there will be a new arrangement here, one possibility is to divert slightly to the Queen Inn which is having a beer festival (https://www.shantscamra.org.uk/beerfestivals/index.php#e1486). The Bishop on the Bridge is another possibility; you can always phone to find out where we are. Later on we usually we finish off with a curry somewhere. Join us en route if you like - we expect to be at Steam Town, Bishopstoke Road, Eastleigh at 11am*, and the Bridge, Shawford around 1.30pm. Please note that departure is now at 9.30am once again, following a few years when there has been no open pub to go to a 11am in Bishopstoke. Steam Town is a micro-brewery and brewery tap that opened November 2017 and has quickly found much favour in Eastleigh, and it's on our route - just turn left, not right, at Bishopstoke Road! *Steam Town is opening early at 11am especially for us.

Join us en route if you like - we expect to be at Steam Town, Bishopstoke Road, Eastleigh at 11am, and the Bridge, Shawford around 1.30pm. As the pubs will not be open the walk is cancelled for this year. Even just for a walk, social distancing on narrow tow-paths is impossible. A one-way system anyone?

Itchen Navigation Pub Walk Start Woodmill, Southampton An annual stroll along the old Itchen Navigation tow path calling in on a few pubs on the way. There are problems on the route due to the winter weather. The Mansbridge to Bishopstoke part is muddy/wet in places but OK apart from the last bit where we can use Chickenhall Lane instead. From Bishopstoke, some trees are down across the path, these can be climbed over/under, but the towpath is eroded and under flowing water between Allbrook & Brambridge. You could take your boots off and paddle, but I'd recommend a diversion along Highbridge Road & footpaths to get to Brambridge. From Brambridge to Otterbourne water works the tow path is best despite the mud and the tree across it - the alternative path starts off very boggy. I do recommend good walking boots this year. If you wear trainers (as I usually do) you are very likely going to get wet feet. I've put a very comprehensive description on our forum see this post. Depart from Woodmill Bridge, Southampton at 10:30am, reaching The Black Boy, Winchester around 3:30pm. Usually a pub or two more then a curry. Join us en route if you like - we expect to be at the Anglers, Bishopstoke at midday, and the Bridge, Shawford around 2.15pm. Please note that the date is Monday 5th May at 10:30. Our newsletter erroneously said Saturday 11th May which doesn't exist this year anyway, and changed the time. Contact Pete Horn for more information. Phone: 07968 809291. |
