Company: Southern Railway
Title: Hike for health
Date: c.1930
Description: Travellers were encouraged to go south for winter sunshine and to participate in such pursuits as rambling and golf. Rambling was a popular pastime between the wars. The Southern Railway produced booklets, posters and tickets to encourage the hobby. Rambles books provided detailed instructions for a number of walks in each area served by the Southern Railway. The walks normally started and ended at railway stations. "Go as you please" tickets allowed outward and return journeys from different stations so that walkers did not have to retrace their steps.
