Nine miles of country walking from Sunningdale to Woking A vast nature reserve, an airport and the Martian landing site
Upcoming dates for your diary
21 June – a walk led by Mimi
19 July – a walk led by Mariama
We set out through 1400 acres of impressive Surrey heathland at Chobham Common Nature Reserve . After lunch at Fairoaks Airport , we skirt round the runway and pass McLaren’s F1 HQ to cross the Martian Landing Site [ H G Wells’ War of the Worlds ]. Finally we arrive at Woking, the only town to celebrate its own (fictional) annihilation.
The walking is fairly easy with no steep gradients, but you will need the stamina to walk seven miles before we are near a bus stop where you could make your escape. Depending on the weather, some mud is possible so you’ll need robust footwear. Wearing shorts may expose you to occasional stinging nettles and brambles.
Meet around the entrance to Platform 12 at Waterloo station on Saturday 17th May at 8:45am having bought a single ticket to Sunningdale, to catch the 9.00am train towards Reading. You will need to buy another ticket from Woking to Waterloo for the journey back.
Please tell Rob – rob@hullonline.org – if you’re coming so we know how many to expect.
The small print
The group works on the same basis as would a group of friends who go out walking together, inviting others to join them.
Everyone taking part does so at their own risk. SJP and the walk leaders assume no responsibility for anyone attending any Walking Boots event. They will not be held responsible for any accident, injury or loss occurring as a result of any Walking Boots event or in connection with travel to such event, however caused. By joining a walk, you indicate that you accept these conditions.Outdoor activities frequently need specialist equipment (boots, waterproofs, etc) and the group does not provide these. You are responsible for assessing your own risk and the suitability of any equipment used. You may want to alert the walk leader to any medical condition that may affect you during the walk. The walk leader may, at their discretion, encourage you not to join the walk if in their opinion you are ill-equipped for the terrain and weather conditions.
We usually visit a pub or café for lunch. You are responsible for alerting the eating establishment to any food allergies you may have. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent, grandparent etc or guardian.
Dogs are usually welcomed on walks. You are encouraged to check with the leader whether the proposed walk is suitable for dogs.
