Saturday 5 April 2025 - day walk in Surrey Hills
2025-04-05
Sandy will lead this walk in the Surrey hills (Gomshall/Abinger/Holmbury area). The walk will be about 10 miles with a possible short cut near the end. It’s a combination of two routes Sandy has led before, so will be familiar to some, but we haven’t been there for a few years. Meet at Gomshall railway station GU5 9NX at 10 am. Grid ref is TQ 089 478. The station car park is no longer free but are usually quite a few free parking spaces on the Station Approach road – you should be all right with a 10 am start. For anyone using public transport, there is a train from Guildford (0937) arriving at Gomshall at 0952.
Towards the end of the walk we will pass close to the Abinger Hammer Tea Rooms and just before Gomshall station, there are the Compasses Inn and Gomshall Mill, both of which have pleasant beer gardens, so there is plenty of choice of post-walk refreshments.

Sorry this is so soon after the previous day walk, but with a meet the following weekend, Easter and other commitments it is the only suitable date.

29 March 2026 - day walk near Witley
2026-03-29
Linda and Stuart will be taking us on another “Fancy Free” Walk.. Titled “Four Commons & a Mill”…. In fact, its Five Commons. ( Rodborough, Milford, Thursley, Ockley and Witley Commons)
Explorer maps 145 (Guildford) 133 (Haslemere)
Distance just under 8 miles of undulating, easily negotiated, forest and common land, the majority of which is on sand, so ideal given the weather conditions of the last couple of months. That said towards the end of the walk there are areas of mud requiring stout, waterproof boots.
It is easy walking with stunning views, a charming country village, some local history and places of interest, lakeside and dappled forest paths. The route is also ideal for dog walking.
Starting point is from the Webb Road, Witley (GU8 5QJ, National Trust car park at 10.00
What 3 words: – hired, pancakes, improvise. Parking is free to N.T. members, £6 charge for non-members.
The route (around 2 thirds of the distance) takes in the beautiful village of Thursley and a delightful pub “Three Horseshoes” ( bar snacks/starters around £10), but a hundred yards from which there is a large bench seat for those taking a packed lunch.
Alternatively, Stuart has identified an ideal spot just before the village where we can eat a packed lunch.
