Thanks to David Cox’s generous catering we again take this walk over spectacular Surrey heathland from Haslemere to Witley station – about 9 miles – with lunch surrounded by a paddock of horses.
A steep climb up to Hindhead along the Greensand Way is followed by a gentle circuit of the Devil’s Punchbowl, over Gibbet Hill to the Temple of the Four Winds. Then down to lunch with David in the company of horses. After that we amble on level ground across fields and through woods to Witley station.
There is some rough ground and the promise of mud, so boots or other robust footwear are recommended. Thanks to David’s optional ferry service for reluctant climbers, the initial ascent can be replaced by an extended stay around the National Trust café at Hindhead.
Meet around the entrance to Platform 12 at Waterloo station on Saturday 23rd May at 8:45am, having bought an off-peak day return ticket to Haslemere, to catch the 8:53am train.
Please let Rob – rob@hullonline.org – know if you’re coming, to inform David’s catering.
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.
