Over the years, Walk the Test Way has garnered significant participation from local residents and enthusiasts alike and raised over £1.3m for charities. 

Event notes:

• Walkers are strongly advised to have suitable warm and wet weather clothing. Stout walking boots are advised particularly for the long walks. Trainers are not really suitable in the muddy and wet areas of the walk.
• Please be aware there are stiles and gates on the route. Wheelchairs and pushchairs are not really suitable for this reason.
• Parking: Please allow plenty of time for parking particularly on the later walks. There are many car parks in Romsey which will be free on Sunday (except ALDI and Waitrose).
• Refreshments: Adequate supplies of water will be available at the start and at various points of the walk. There are also pubs, cafes & picnic areas at various points on the walk. All walkers must finish by 5.30pm.
