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**

Come for an evening walk on Ash ranges. Hopefully we'll see some nightjars (rare birds). They should start calling around 9.30pm just over halfway round the walk. It is very exciting!

Please RSVP at our website (green button) and not here, thanks!
Hello everyone, here's my first go at leading a walk! Hopefully we won't get too lost 😜
A fairly flat, 14 mile route with one steep hill.
Starting at Fleet Train Station, we'll head via Fleet Pond to Caesar's Camp. After a lunch stop after the climb up the hill, the route will take us on a loop back via Ewshot and the Basingstoke Canal for a refreshment stop at one of the best pubs in Fleet and then head back to the station via the Pond again.- Train from Guildford (09:24) via Woking (09:46) arrives at 10:04, assuming no rail replacement busses! Returns depart towards Woking from Fleet at xx:02 and xx:32.
- For parking: if you're lucky there is limited on-street parking on the section of Elvetham Road behind the Station Pub, or slightly further away at the end of Wellington Avenue. There is also loads of parking available at the station (£4.90 for the day).
- I will also no doubt ask the age old question of "Pub?" at the end of the walk. I will most likely head to the Heron on the Lake which is 10 mins from the station, feel free to join.
