- The Hangers Way | 21 Mile Waymarked Footpath from Queen Elizabeth Country Park - Alton Railway Station
Day 1 - Queen Elizabeth Country Park - Nr Noar Hill, Selbourne
Last summer we hiked the Hanger's Way! We hadn't done much hiking with our packs so we split this beautiful 21-mile trail into two parts with a wild camp in the middle. A long slow 13 miles on day one, but it was a hot couple of days and the chilled pace was worth it for the views and it allowed us to take it easy and enjoy the mileage. It felt so great to be back out there - the legs certainly felt it at the end of day one, Max woke up on the floor thanks to a nice slow puncture in her Thermarest but despite that the walk back into Alton on day 2 was brilliant.

The Hangers Way is a 21-mile long distance, waymarked footpath in East Hampshire, England. Its name originates from the Old English word ‘hangra’ meaning ‘a steeply wooded slope’, as the route includes a series of steep-sided hills. You can walk in either direction, so we started at Queen Elizabeth Country Park with the motivation of walking home (Alton). QE Country Park is the largest of Hampshire’s country parks, sitting at the foot of Butser Hill, the highest point of the South Downs National Park.

As always guys..👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
Ace video!
Cheers Cal!!!
Great video! I want to visit your beautiful country when COVID-19 is over. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪!
Thank you very much!
I have genuinely missed you guys. I was wondering what edge of the world you had fallen off of! I enjoyed watching your van build and we just finished ours after 8 months or so. I released the van tour video a couple of weeks ago and we are thrilled with how it turned out. We did aa quick trip to Florida to visit friends and in two weeks we are headed out to Denver, Colorado to visit our former pastor and his wife. Then a lot of short camping trips until the end of August when we heard back to Colorado and Utah for almost a month.
I am a retired Indiana elementary music teacher and we are fortunate to be able to do what we are doing. But we love our home and have no interest in full-timing on the road. With 14 grandkids, we cannot be wandering all of the time, I am so glad you are back with more videos.Be safe and blessings on you.
Haha! No still here! Just here there and everywhere :) Hope you're well! x

Hello there, I am so sorry. With covid and everything going on and being in and out of lockdowns we never did get the edit done for the second part. But hopefully we still have the footage and we can get that out there at some point, so sorry!
