Hike suitable for Scouts with Museum at end‏

Thank you to Pete Bourne for the following:

Ann and Pete went on a hike starting and finishing at Fort Nelson. Afterwards they went into Fort Nelson to look around.  They thought this could make a great day out for a Scout Troop- particularly as Admission to the Fort is free and there's lots to see in there. 
Guided Walks cost £3 for adults but again are free for under 16s
The hike route is based on walk 11 in "50 walks in Hampshire & the Isle of Wight". See below a route card and map. Distance is just over 7 miles, and refreshments are available at Southwick or at the cafe at Fort Nelson.
There are a couple of legs on road, but the roads are not busy so it's okay for Scouts. Unfortunately one leg of the footway is closed (look here)  at present for bridge repairs, so you might want to hold on to this to use when the footpath is reopened.
