This is a good the best time of the year to do this 5 mile walk before it gets too muddy as we pass along one of the prettiest parts of the River Mole. I did this in 2022 with only a few people so it should be new to lots of you.

It is mainly flat but we do drop down to the river with 30 odd steps and climb up again.

Black Pond and Middle Pond and lovely woodlands will also be visited and I hope some of you will join me on a very enjoyable walk. You are welcome to bring up to 2 guests as well.

NO DOGS PLEASE.

You can call me on 07395 004461 if you are lost and it is easy to catch up if you are slightly late.

IF YOU ARE LATE ARRIVING BECAUSE OF THE EARLY START, DON'T WORRY, CALL ME AND WE WILL MEET YOU PART WAY ROUND.

I last did this walk last year for the group and it is very nice. I can also offer free access to the Semaphore Tower which is normally closed so come along for a new experience. I have said an ending at 1.15 but if we spend longer at the tower it may be a little later.

The postcode to use is KT11 3NU.

This is a 5 mile circular walk with surprise, surprise, loads of stiles. It takes in lots of fields and passes Chatley Semaphore tower and is a lovely walk that I have enjoyed a few times. It is reasonable flat but we do have a short spell walking along a not so busy busy road at the start with no pavement for much of the way, so we have to be careful

It is on road parking which should be OK

For members of the regular walking scheme it is free, for others £4.

NO DOGS PLEASE.

You can call me on 07395 004461 (my new phone number) and can easily catch up if you are a few minutes late.

People keep getting lost due to their sat navs. So from the A3, come off at the Painshill junction and head towards Cobham. Down the hill, over a roundabout by Sainsbury's to another roundabout. Turn right and by Waitrose, turn right onto Downside Road. When you reach the Cricketers Pub on your left, Downside Common Road is the next turning on your left.

This is a lovely walk with a few climbs and descents but nothing too bad. Lovely views and with the additional advantage of being able to visit and see round Polesden Lacey House for free. Lots of other events on there as well including Jazz from 2pm.

For parking, it mat get a little tight so if you are members of the National Trust, there is a free car park very near by the junction with Ranmore Road and I would urge you to use this. (RH5 6SR/what3words over.plot.exam)

This should be a vey enjoyable day, weather permitting, and I hope to see some of you there.

This is for Copperfields which is a road adjacent to the Sports ground on Cock Lane that we meet outside.

I last did this circular walk last October and today we explore a route seldom used by walkers, according to the farmers whose land we cross, which is surprising as it is so nice. It is a wholly circular walk of 5/5.5 miles and flat except for one steady shallow climb which will reward you with a walk through a stud farm and a fantastic view that would be stunning on the front of a chocolate box or wonderful for a jigsaw.

We start by walking through Fetcham village and onto farm land, through some woods and back to the farms with some glorious old properties and then the climb through another farm. Once we have seen the view, which a few of you will have seen on one of my previous walks, it is back to the car via the glorious surroundings and ponds on Bookham Common, past another group of lovely expensive properties and then a small housing estate. There are a couple of stiles and a short part where the path is not very wide, so long trousers or socks are suggested.

NO DOGS PLEASE. You are welcome to bring a friend.

You can call me on 07395 004461 and easily catch up if you are a few minutes late.

There are a couple of pubs in Fetcham but the best for value and reviews is The Anchor in Bookham, just a short distance away. It is at 161, Lower Road, Bookham KT23 4AH phone no. 01372 452429 but it is only small. See the map below and if you start at Cock Lane and at the top middle and follow it round onto Kennel Lane and then Lower Road, you will see how to get there.

If the weather is nice, and your taste in walks is the same as mine, you will enjoy it I am sure. So I hope to see some of you there.
