Walking in Surrey (WiSy)

This is a brand new 5 mile circular walk taking in some lovely countryside in Shamley Green and Blackheath with lots of peace and quiet. It is a little undulating but nothing too steep or long so I am sure
that you can all cope with this perfectly well.

If you know the walks I like and you agree with me, you will realise that this is not one to miss.

There are a couple of places where long trousers would be wise as I suspect it may have overgrown a little by the time we do the walk.

NO DOGS PLEASE.

If you are late or lost, call me on 07395004461 and hopefully you can get here and catch us up, which should be easy if you are only a few minutes late.

There is parking around on loads of roads and probably best on Hullbrook Lane which goes a long way down with lots of free on road parking.

See some of you there I hope.

ONCE YOU APPROACH WALTON BRIDGE IGNORE YOUR SATNAV. THIS CAR PARK HAS NOT GOT ONE. SEE THE MAP BELOW. The best and nearest I can find which will get you on the approach to the bridge is KT12 1AR.

This is a free car park but it can get busy although the turnover is very quick. So please try and arrive 10 minutes early so you can get parked easily. Toilets are here at the start.

Last done in 2022, here is another opportunity to have a lovely walk through parts of Shepperton many of you will not know and a nice walk along the Thames.

In2021, volunteers started a small ferry crossing from Walton on Thames to Sunbury and back at a cost of £2 each way. It proved popular and now I will give you the opportunity to see it and also both sides of the Thames. More details are available on the link below.

This will be a 6 mile circular walk with a stop mid way at Sunbury Walled Garden. Some will be familiar if you have walked with me in this area before. It will be new I can guarantee unless you know the local area well.

We will cross Walton bridge and soon most of you will see parts of Shepperton that you were not aware of, a marina then through a farmers field, past a rugby ground and fields into Sunbury Park where we take a circuit of that and we will take a break for a 30 minute stop in the walled garden where you can admire the flowers, get a tea or coffee, or even look at the embroidery exhibition. Then we take the ferry and walk back alongside the Thames to rejoin the cars.

NO DOGS PLEASE

If you are late or lost, you can call me on 07395 004461 and it is easy to catch up.

I checked this circular 5.85 mile walk out on 27th March in lovely sunshine and it was absolutely glorious. The scenery was superb and the peace and quiet was magnificent. It is however, an undulating walk with 2 climbs and a steep descent so not everyone will enjoy that part, but if you want a fantastic walk, try not to miss this one.

The car park gets busy so try and turn up early to take the place of the many dog walkers who use this car park. If you can offer a lift to someone or don't mind sharing a car, put your proposal forward as it may help keep the car park usable.

No dogs please.

It is very easy to catch up if you are a few minutes late but phone me early if you are lost and maybe I can help you. 07395004461.

I hope to see some of you there.
