Guildford Circular

Jane Rosoux writes

"I attach photographs taken on Sunday's 10.5 mile circular walk from Guildford led by Barbara Luke from which to make a selection for the Rambling On blog. As you see the snow had largely disappeared and what was left was fairly slushy and not as slippery as Barbara had feared.







"But there was still enough snow to be fairly scenic and the weather was quite good - cold and dry with sunny intervals. The trains were running to a special timetable in order to ensure that they were in the correct places for Monday morning but three of us caught the 09.30 (the one specified in the programme) and enjoyed a smooth, trouble-free journey.




"Those who decided not to join us missed an enjoyable walk over varied and attractive terrain with a lunch stop at Chilworth, where we warmed up at the hospitable Percy Arms. There were four trains an hour back to London and after looking at the market stalls on the bridge near the station we caught a fast train at 16.05."

Guildford Circular

I attach photographs taken on Sunday's circular walk from Guildford led by Gary and Eladia Cleary from which you can make a selection for the Rambling On blog. As on Saturday the weather was very good and a party of 15



(including members of the North West London Group) was taken along a delightful route past St Martha's Church, with its excellent views, to Aldbury for our lunch stop where some of us picnicked outside the church and others went to the pub.




In the afternoon we walked through heathland to join the River Wey navigation near St Catherine's Lock. Whilst walking along the towpath we were passed twice by a steam-powered boat called 'Grace'.



Three of us climbed up St Catherine's Hill to see the chapel and enjoy the views but we arrived back at Guildford Station all too soon.
