Walking in Surrey (WiSy)

We meet 10-45am at the old disused railway station in Bramley ( shown above) for a prompt 11am start (please) .

Plenty of free parking on the road opposite ( Station Road ) nearest postcode is GU5 0AY or side streets .

Walking through the little village of Bramley ( nothing to do with apples ) , we soon turn onto a steady uphill which will take us up Hurst Hill to sweeping views and on to Upper Bonhurst . We then turn onto a part of the Greensand Way and cross the road over to Rooks Hill Farm .

The Downs Link path is the old Guildford to Horsham railway line ( disused) so is very flat and will lead us back to the level crossing at Bramley .

There are 2 nice pubs in Bramley , The Jolly Farmer and The Wheatsheaf ( and a cafe 'The Nest' ) to finish (if you want).

It's £4 each ( cash on the day please )

The nearest postcode is GU4 8SE but this is a short distance away.

Members of the £10 January-June scheme FREE (You can join on your first walk) * see below for details

Guests and occasional visitors £4 (if you are a first timer, you can pay the £4 and upgrade within 7 days by paying the extra £6).

IF YOU DO NOT MIND CLIMBING AND DESCENDING, THIS IS A WONDERFUL WALK AND WE WILL HAVE SEVERAL STOPS ESPECIALLY IF THE WEATHER IS HOT SO PLEASE DO NOT BE DETERRED AND JOIN ME AND OTHERS IF YOU CAN.

Lots of climbing up and down to get some fantastic views of the north downs and surrounding areas of Guildford. Approximately 8 miles long but feeling longer, starting from Newlands Corner, we go through some nice woodlands and climb up to St Martha's Church. It is then downhill to Chilworth with some beautiful views as we descend. Another climb up to Albury and down again to Shere, which is a beautiful village as I am sure most of you know. It is then back up to Newlands Corner and a well deserved rest.

I am allowing 3.5 hours because of the stops but it may finish earlier.

NO DOGS PLEASE

You can call me on 07395 004461 if you are lost or a few minutes late. You can probably catch up if slightly late but you must call me on 07395004461 and I can probably guide you to us.

I have said 3 hours for the meeting but if you do not join us for the meal, 2-2.25 hours is the time required.

As always, if the sun is out, it will make this lovely walk a beautiful walk with the Colne river running through it. It is nice and flat and there may be a few animals as well to see. With 80% or so of the walk done, having gone through Staines town centre with some interesting statues and buildings, we will reach the Thames and Spicy Tadka beckons for anyone who wants to indulge in an Indian buffet for £14.99. I will certainly be eating but some of you may prefer to return to the car so please follow the instructions below.

INSTRUCTIONS BACK TO CAR FROM SPICY TADKA (approx 15 minutes)

With the river on your left follow the path to a road. turn left and almost immediately turn left into Lammas Park. Continue along the river until you pass the kiosk on your right and turn right to reach the main road. Cross the road and go through a gate and turn right. Bear right when you meet a path and go between two lakes. At the t junction turn right and shortly after turn left through a gate and go under a bridge. Go through a gate and head towards the houses and bear left as you reach them. Very soon there is a kissing gate on your right. Go through there and make your way back to the road. Turn left to find your car.

NO DOGS PLEASE

You can call me on 07395 004461 if you are late or lost but don't leave it to the last minute. It is also very easy to catch up, even if you are 10 minutes late.

See some of you there I hope.
