Continue straight ahead passing Boots, WH Smith's, Woolworths and Superdrug. You will reach some doors that go into Festival Place next to the Sports Center. Go through these and continue straight ahead again, passing Mark's and Spencer's, Virgin, The Body Shop and Priceless shoes. At this open area, head between Madhouse and Claire's Accessories towards some more doors out of Festival Place. Go out of these and, ignoring the steps on the left, head forwards passing the Woolwich and McColl's. Now head all the way up the hill in front of you, passing The Haymarket Theater. You should reach an open area (which includes McDonald's) with four pedestrianised roads heading into it (including the one you have just walked up). Take the second one to your right (NOT heading down the other side of the Museum) and walk passed Basingstoke Service Center and Chicago's. You should now meet a junction with some traffic lights. Go straight ahead at these until the road splits into two. Take the left turn down Winchester Road. Follow this, passing Jim's Chinese on your right and eventually The King of Wessex pub on your left. Continue until you reach a roundabout. Continue straight ahead at this roundabout using the underpass provided. Come through the underpass so you are on the right side of Winchester Road.
