Hold the date for a walk and get to know fellow book club members better in the great outdoors!

Section 3: Dorking to Merstham

Enjoy a 15km hike across the Surrey Hills with unbeatable views and staggering sights (hopefully).

Start by hopping across the Stepping Stones at the River Mole and then tackle the famous climb at the Box Hill steps before heading out on a trek that’s rich in history.

From industrial archaeology to military and social sites of significance, there are plenty of great spots to explore or rest up to the top of Colley Hill and Reigate Hill, and the views are consistently stunning.
Transport:

Arrive: 09.46 Box Hill & Westhumble [d. 08.54 London Waterloo changing at Epsom (Surrey)]

Depart: Redhill

Lunch: The Junction Pub & Eatery – kitchen closes at 16.00 so hopefully we’ll be there in time to eat – otherwise we can just stop for a drink.

Communications:
A WhatsApp group will be created so we can keep in touch in the run up and on the day – please ensure you join the WhatsApp group via the link to receive all of the info and join in the chat.

Join in the conversation: Whats App: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/J2ioUZw4C50GXiBBK0uPVi](https://chat.whatsapp.com/J2ioUZw4C50GXiBBK0uPVi)

Transport to and from the walk is at your own cost.

Please note that I am not a qualified walk leader, although I do have a lot of experience and will carry a first aid kit for the basics. These walks will follow generally well-trodden routes and I will share walk maps and details ahead of the day. Some examples would be Thames Path from Teddington, Seven Sisters, Box Hill, South Downs. I’ll aim to start walks around 9.30/10.00 dependant on distance.

These walks will not be a race, to be accessible to as many people as possible, that said I will try to incorporate options so that people can bow out early or continue for the full length of the walk. Average full walk distance will be about 20-25km.

I would recommend decent hiking shoes and lots of layers. You will be responsible for bringing your own kit and food/ snacks/ drinks.

A basic kit list:
· Hiking shoes/ boots
· Hiking socks
· Waterproof Jacket
· Fleece
· Base layer
· Hiking trousers – no jeans!
· Rucksack
· Hat & Gloves
· Optional: Gaiters
· Optional: Walking poles

If you rsvp and can no longer attend, please amend your booking so others on the wait list can come. Fees cover Meetup and PayPal fees and organiser time.

Fees are strictly non-refundable unless the event is cancelled
