Glorious Goodwood Circular 19 Mile hike

Описание: *Hiking the South Downs – Training for Hexatrek!*

As part of my preparation for the Hexatrek—a 3,000km journey across France that I’ll be starting on May 18th, 2025—I’m taking on this scenic hike through the South Downs. The Hexatrek is a massive challenge that could take up to six months to complete, so building endurance and getting plenty of trail time is essential!

Today’s route takes me through one of the most picturesque areas of the British countryside. Starting in the quiet hamlet of Charlton, I’ll be making my way up through forested trails, following a beautiful section of the South Downs Way to Beacon Hill. Along the way, I’ll pass St Roche’s Hill, home to the ancient Iron Age hill-fort known as the Trundle, which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. From the top, you can see across the coastal plain towards the sea, with the Isle of Wight in the distance.

The journey also provides stunning views of Chichester Cathedral and Chichester Harbour, and if the timing is right, I might even catch a gorgeous sunset at the end of the walk. After soaking in the sights, the route loops back through the picturesque hamlets of Hookway and Chiltons.

This hike is not only a great way to train for the Hexatrek but also an opportunity to explore some of the most beautiful trails in the UK. Come along for the adventure, and don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more trekking content! 🚶‍♂️⛰️🔥
