What we’re about

Surrey Young Walkers (SYW) is a friendly walking and hiking group aimed at people in their 20s-40s, based in and around Surrey. We put on a range of walks, from 3-mile gentle rambles to 20-mile strenuous hikes. We have weekends away, across the UK and abroad. We also have social meet-ups, visits to local landmarks and sights as well as live music venues, pubs and other activities.

Whether you are new to walking or an experienced walker who is looking for a group to walk with, you are more than welcome to join us on any of our walks.

We'd love to see you on any of our upcoming walks - just register for a place at **https://surreyyoungwalkers.org.uk**

    Hello everyone, hope you can come along for a leisurely loop skirting the village of Blackheath & Tangley Manor, before climbing Barnett Hill & returning via Blackheath to the car park. The aim will be for a packed lunch stop en route as dining & bathroom facilities won't be available, however my plan for post-walk refreshments is the Drummond in Albury. Hope to see you there!

    Come & explore the National Maritime Museum in London. Meet at Greenwich tube station just after the ticket barriers at 11:15am for a 15 minute walk to the National Maritime Museum.

    There are many things to see such as a pocket watch found on the Titanic to Nelson's coat among a few.

    For the museum please book a free timed ticket for 12 noon which will allow us to walk at a leisurely pace to the museum with maybe a coffee on the way.

    There are cafes in the museum or outside for lunch. For those who are interested, we can also pay a visit to the Titanic Memorial Gardens which are very close to the museum &/or the Cutty Sark. There are several pubs close by, so we can always stop there before getting the tube back to Waterloo.

  • Ramblers Route - Crowthorne Circular (10 miles)

    Ramblers Route - Crowthorne Circular (10 miles)

    Crowthorne Station, Duke's Ride, Berkshire, GB

    Please RSVP at our website (green button) and not here, thanks!

    The Ramblers Route is 26 mile/41.8km circular walking trail that passes through attractive countryside on the outskirts of Bracknell Forest. We will be tackling the first two sections of the route.

    Starting from the station we will be passing through the village, before heading out to Nine Mile Ride & into the countryside that surrounds Bracknell. Taking in points of interest along the way, we will reach half-way at The Lookout in Swinley Forest where there are toilets & a cafe. After lunch we will venture into the forest itself, approaching Broadmoor & Wildmoor Heath. We'll stop at the Bird in Hand in Sandhurst for a well earned pint, before the last leg into Crowthorne via Ambarrow Court, & the edge of Wellington College.

  • SYW/FFS Folklore - Mother Ludlam (12 miles, Circular)

    SYW/FFS Folklore - Mother Ludlam (12 miles, Circular)

    Farnham station, Station hill, Farnham, GB

    Please RSVP at our website (green button) and not here, thanks!
    Welcome to the first joint walk between Surrey Young Walkers and the Farnham Folklore Society! This one marks the start of the Farnham Folklore Society's exhibition at Brightwells (20th to 22nd October) as part of Farnham Craft Month.

    Long term, the aim is to have walks which explore the great Surrey countryside, and share some tales of local legends and folklore along the way. Of course, what else are we going to kick off this collaboration other than the legend of Mother Ludlam?
    We'll be telling you more about Farnham's own white witch on the walk, how she helped the people of Farnham, along with what happened to those who crossed her, and maybe a bit more about the cave and witches in general. The route is going to take us past Mother Ludlam's cave, along with a stop at Farnham Brewing Company's tap room, and over to Frensham Church before we head back to Farnham Station.
    There's an option to head back to Farnham Station at Bourne Woods, shortening the walk to around 6-7 miles.
    You can see that, and the full walk's hill profile here.
    We've provided an automated estimate of the end time and this will be affected by many factors - please only use as a guide. The description above may also have specific notes on ending details.
