New Forest Walking with Steve Adams
Steve has lived and worked in the New Forest area all his life. He has a wide knowledge of the geography of the Forest and this, coupled with a general interest in wildlife and the environment makes him an ideal guide for visitors to the area.
Fully insured and first-aid qualified, Steve has considerable experience in leading walking parties and is always willing to impart information about the Forest and its history and traditions.
The walks are conducted at an easy pace with occasional stops to look at or discuss various features. A wide range of routes is available with approximate distances of 5 miles for a half-day walk and 9/10 miles for a day walk, although specific routes can often be arranged by request. Lunch on day walks can either be a picnic stop or a visit to a forest pub.
The New Forest is generally flat so walking is easy but routes can often be muddy, especially as the preference is to walk in less populated areas wherever possible. Walkers should therefore always have good footwear (boots, or walking-type trainers or shoes), and also suitable clothing to allow for possible changes in weather conditions.
Whilst safety is obviously a priority, the objective of these walks is to make them interesting and informative but, above all, enjoyable.
