Beginning to Acknowledge Hayling Island
Sunday, October 25th, 2009If you want to see the sights of Hayling Island, there are many ways to do that. You could either walk or cycle.
Enjoy a variety of walks with the Hayling Island group taking in the good-looking sea views.
We are a group that are better for the more beginner end of the walkers
The longer walk enables those who enjoy a slightly faster paced perambulation to enjoy the Hayling coastline whilst socialising with allies.
Share a morning perambulation with acquaintances taking in the good sea air and ever changing environment, returning for refreshments.
This is mainly a flat route. There are two short hills at the Rowlands Castle end of the route. The majority of the route is on cycle path, but 3 short sections are on road:
1. from The Recreation Ground, The Fairway, Rowlands Castle to the bottom of the hill in Durrants Road
2. the section of road between Langstone Road and Langstone Bridge on to Hayling Island. The pavements on both sides of Langstone Bridge (only) are cycle paths.
3. the southern loop of Staunton Ave, Sea Front and Sinah Lane.
The Hayling Billy Coastal Route is produced from jammed scalpings, with a top-dressing, there’s some tarmac and some concrete and it could be a spot lumpy in places. Most road bikes will cope but mountain bikes are better suited ” I cycled the route on a mountain bike with slick road tyres and I was O.k.. There are places where some would opt to walk but these points are few and far between and very short ” bearing in mind I pedaled the route the day following torrential downpours which pulled leaves off trees etc. a few puddles about but on the whole it was pretty well drained.
