- The Rambling Walker - Walks (Hikes) with History, Humour and Passion.
This is a shorter version using clips from the full length program.
What you'll enjoy in this web video, is Murray telling stories associated with the wonderful places and landscapes that we visit during our Rambling Walker Films.
A lot of the great music used in these films is by Kevin MacLeod - check him out here incompetech.com/
Charming. What a splendid video. Thanks. I have recently moved to Hampshire where I am discovering these wonderful walks.
Really enjoyable video, thank you. I loved seeing the exact scenes then and now. I was at West Meon Station and tunnel yesterday, soaking it in
Fascinating documentary...i remember the line at Tisted as it crossed the wonderful Meon Valley road...still one of the loveliest roads in the UK
I grew up in Fareham and vividly recall the celebration and grief of the last train on the Meon Valley Line. My first insight into the futility of communities trying to stand against "economic realities" championed by government.
what a great vid i actually lived in the station house on the station at west meon in 1955 when the line was still open. i belive i am the last person to have done so.
General Smuts had been made a British Field Marshal before the D Day landings in 1944. I used to walk the line forty years ago- the track was still in place up to Droxford- there was a fantastic primrose growth in places! Apparently, the iron viaduct was badly wasted when Thomas Ward demolished it after the 1955 closure. This line ran through the most incredibly beautiful countryside- breathtaking- a heavenly place!
Really interesting!!
There is going to be a work party at the West Meon site on 29th October 2013 to start clearing and tidying up the area. I suspect all able hands will be wecome.

Rambling walker. Most interesting . My grand father owned this line after WW2 and that included Droxford station.. I have a photo of the Churchill etc all standing there. You can contact me privately if you need more info. Thanks.
Hi, do you know how much Droxford station was purchased for in 1984?
Where can I find the full documentary please?
de gaulle was told to walk down the track to the tunnel in case of a raid
