Win 107.2

Win FM, the on-air name of Winchester Independent Radio, was an Independent Local Radio station for Winchester, in Hampshire, England, and surrounding areas. After two one-month trial broadcasts in 1996 and 1997 it won a permanent licence and began to broadcast on 3 October 1999. It closed on 2 October 2007.The trial broadcasts were made from temporary studios in Winchester High Street. The permanent station broadcast from studios on the top floor of the Brooks Shopping Centre, Winchester.The station played pop music from the 1960s onwards, and covered local news and events in central Hampshire, with news bulletins generally on the hour through weekday daytimes and weekend mornings. There were also 15-minute local news programmes Winchester Today on weekday lunchtimes and Winchester Tonight on weekday evenings. Win FM did many outside broadcasts from around the area, including presenting live at the switch-on of the Winchester Christmas lights, and the Winchester Round Table fireworks display. Presenters included Simon Norton, Andy Martindale, Phil Stocks, Ken Rayner, Brian Matthews, Tim Butcher, Phil Marriott, Dina Burgess, Nick David, Steve Ridout, Jo Jones, Matt Aldous, Ben Shoveller, Dave Moses and James Morgan. The station was originally owned by The Local Radio Company and Jacob & Johnson, then owners of the Hampshire Chronicle newspaper. Jacob & Johnson sold their share at the same time as they sold the Hampshire Chronicle. Ownership later passed to Radio Investments Inc, and then to a later company using the old name The Local Radio Company. It was bought by Tindle Radio in October 2006. Tindle closed the station in October 2007, replacing it with Dream 107.2.The 107.2 frequency has subsequently been used by: Dream 107.2 (2007–8), Radio Hampshire (2008–9), Play Radio (2009–10), The Breeze (2010-20), Hits Radio South Coast (2020-22) and Easy Radio South Coast (2022-).

Clarendon Way

The Clarendon Way is a recreational footpath in Hampshire and Wiltshire, England. It starts beside the waters of the River Itchen in the centre of Winchester and ends near the River Avon at Salisbury Cathedral. The path passes through the Clarendon Estate and close to the 12th century ruins of Clarendon Palace. The path also passes through Farley Mount Country Park and the villages of Pitton, The Winterslows, Broughton and King's Somborne. The path shares part of its route with the Monarch's Way long-distance footpath. The footpath is waymarked by metal and plastic disks attached to wooden and metal posts, trees and street furniture. This route is shown as a series of green diamonds on Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 maps and as a series of red diamonds on Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 maps. Several charity events take place along the Clarendon way: Each June, the Naomi House & Jacksplace charity organises a sponsored walk along the Clarendon Way. The event attracts thousands of walkers and raises significant sums for the charity. The Clarendon Marathon takes place every year on the first Sunday in October. The event is organised by the Rotary Clubs of Winchester and Salisbury, along with other volunteers, and attracts over one thousand runners each year. The proceeds from the race are donated to good causes and many runners also raise money for a charity of their choice. Competitors can choose between full marathon, half marathon and 5 mile options, and it's also possible to cover the full marathon distance as a four-person relay team.
