Alain de Botton, Box Hill (12 km autumn walk)

Join us this October for our walk around Box Hill, Surrey - where we'll be discussing all things Alain de Botton and, in particular, his book The Consolations of Philosophy.

Supplementary reads or listens for those who become as fascinated by de Botton as I have become: A Therapeutic Journey, On Love, or Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person (article).

We'll aim to meet at Box Hill & Westhumble train station at 13:00. From there we will head up towards the car parks and meet anyone arriving by car.

The walk itself can be found on Alltrails - it's the well-rated 11.9 km walk listed as Box Hill, Lodge Hill and Juniper Hill Circular.
