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**

We start the walk from Kings Standing Clump car park.

If you drive down the B2026 you will see King’s Standing Clump car park on the left-hand side just after the junction with the B2188. Please note there are no toilets at the start and the closest postcode is TN6 1XE.
Join us as we explore the Ashdown Forest, home to Winnie the Pooh. From here we will head north and then down into the 500 Acre Wood. We will then take the Wealdway and then turn off towards Hartfield and our first stop. After about 5 miles we will stop and for a drink and cake at the Winnie the Pooh Café. We will then take the High Weald Landscape Trail over to Ashurst Wood and have our drink stop at the Maypole Inn. We will have our picnic lunch a short walk after the pub stop. After lunch we join up with the Forest Way, which is a disused railway, and then we continue south and down to Pooh Sticks Bridge for a short break and if anyone would like a game of Pooh Sticks. Then we walk up on to open land and onto the Memorial to A.A. Milne at Gils Lap view point, then back to the car park.
After the walk we will be heading to The Crow and Gate Inn (Uckfield Rd, Crowborough TN6 3TA) for a drink and food if anyone is interested. The pub is about 2.5 miles south of the walk start/finish carpark.
