The three-times-a-day bus drops me off at the Butcher's Arms in Farnborough. Today's walk starts by going down the hill from Farnborough to the A423 junction. This is where I finished yesterday. And then it's back up the hill to Farnborough. Silly, I know. I don't want people to say I cheated.

This idea of hills is quite knew to me, having spent the last four days just rising by about 6 feet every 3 miles or so.

From Farnborough, the route goes by the way of Mollington, Shotteswell, Hornton and Alkerton to get to Shenington.

This involves map-reading which is something else I didn't have to do whilst walking the towpath!
