Nine months after we moved to Winchester, we finally made it to the top of St Catherine's Hill. In our defence, it's not easy to find the entrance, the weather last year was miserable, and PJ doesn't get out of bed before 1 on a Sunday, so our opportunities have been somewhat limited. However, no such excuses today. It was a beautiful crisp day and we set off up a surprisingly muddy hill. The resulting mud-clogged boots were worth it though; stunning views across Winchester, the shimmering M3, and St Cross Hospital.
There's also a "mismaze" at the top, along with lots of people walking dogs and enjoying the sunshine.
We made our way down the easier, less muddy set of steps on the other side of the hill and meandered home, calling in at The Queen Inn for a (late) lunchtime pint. Lovely.
