Walk Leader

The Social Strollers are a wellness walking group set up by East Hampshire Community Rail Partnership (EHCRP). The group is for people who are not hikers but enjoy going out for a stroll in the fresh air with company on a Sunday afternoon. EHCRP works with the local community to promote the use of sustainable travel. They bring the railway to the community and the community to the railway. On their website and at their tourist hub at Petersfield Railway station they have a number of walks and cycle rides that can all be enjoyed using public transport.
