Tadworth Circular.

There were 14 of us on Sunday for a twelve mile circular walk around the North Downs near Boxhill.

The walk was led unnerringly by Stephen Bird, pictured below...


Despite the heat, in the high seventies (showing my age here) we kept a pace near to three miles an hour for the first few miles.



Near Mogador (very Tolkien-sounding!) we paused for a quick breather near a Coal Post (see here for an explanatory link).



We had some stunning views...



Later in the day we were to become very familiar with the hill at the top of the photo below.



A couple of us got seperated for a while after stopping for a chat and a photo of one of the locals...



The walk was described as "hilly" with good reason. Perhaps these pictures will convey exactly how steep it was in parts...





I'm certain that quite a few of us knew we had been on a walk the day after!!
