What's that you say? A request for cakes AND car parks in the same walk?! Well look no further, as we tour the car parks of Guildford and eat cakes whilst also raising money for Children in Need!
Join Nathan and Kathryn as we embark on a guided tour of 19 of Guildford's most famous car parks. There will be the option to donate (or be sponsored!!) for each car park that we visit or to buy delicious home-made cake in aid of Children in Need. We have a justgiving link here, or just bring cash on the night.
Our 20th stop will likely be a Guildford pub where we can celebrate our achievements :)
(this is the only weekend of the SYW calendar that offers a cake walk double!! For those of us that can't get enough of cake, check out Tom's Chocolate Fudge Cake walk on Sunday! It is absolutely encouraged to sign-up to both!)

As promised I'm doing my walk of the year once again. Starting at Farnham station we will make our way through Farnham town centre via East street, Hale road and Monkton lane until we eventually make our way over to squires cafe bar Badshot Lea for coffee and cake and not forgetting my speciality chocolate fudge cake.
After the refreshments we will make our way over to Rowhill copse and the source of the river Blackwater. As the river Blackwater flows downstream it gains water from its tributaries including Cove Brook and the river white water. Continuing northwards it joins the river Loddon which in turn flows into the river Thames. After crossing Farnborough road we shall make our way over to skirmishing hill where we can stop for lunch. (During the Recce I found the perfect lunch spot with 20 stone seats under the trees). After lunch we shall make our way over to Steep hill, Water works and sandpit hill where we shall then reach a pond at Bricksbury hill which is lovely when the sun is out. After crossing the A 3016 we shall then make our way over to Farnham castle having passed the old stables where there's an option to look round the castle itself where there are amazing views of Farnham and Hampshire. After that we shall then make are way back into Farnham and the station. Option to go to the Mulberry pub just outside the station for drinks after.
Please bring a pack lunch with you.
Ringo parking tickets are available through the app or at the self service ticket machine
Please note that dogs are not allowed in Squires cafe bar except for guide dogs.

Car parks, bridges, etc. Plenty of history around Surrey, ranging from Bronze Age barrows to this walk's common identifier - WW2 Bunkers.
The North Downs form a natural barrier, so the plan was to use this as a line to stop any invasion. There's dozens of pillboxes along the hills, but we'll be visiting 30 on this walk, which means there's a fair bit of up and down the slope. We'll leave Gomshall station at 10:00, before cutting up towards Blatchford Down and heading East towards the borders of Ranmore Common. After our first few pillboxes, we'll turn back North of Gomshall through Hackhurst Down, past Netley Park and Shere Woodlands before looping back into the valley. We'll pass through Shere with the opportunity to stop for a drink, and then back to the station.
Car share if you can, and bring a pen.

Departing from the fair market town of Haslemere, in the shire of Surrey, this 13-mile circuitous walk doth commence by leading thee into the verdant weald, where paths wind through fields and forests, and muddy tracks doth greet the traveller's foot. The first record of Haslemere doth date back to the year of our Lord 1180, where mention is made of a "Chapel of Piperham," belonging to the church of Chiddingfold. In the year 1221, the town wast known as Heselmere, with names like Haselmere and Hasselmere appearing in later years. 'Tis believed the name "mere" doth refer to a pond, once visible on the western edge of the High Street until the year 1859, whilst "hasle" mayst refer to the hazel tree or to the noble Heysulle family of Chiddingfold, who in the 14th century owned lands in this region. Upon departing the town, the walk dost lead thee into serene, tree-shaded ways and muddy tracks, winding through verdant meadows toward the fair village of Chiddingfold. Once known in Saxon times as Chadynge’s Fold, the name most like meaneth "the fold in the hollow," a place where animals were kept. Its ancient charm, timbered cottages, and quiet green doth offer a most fitting respite for the weary traveller.
Thence, after departing Chiddingfold, the way doth rise gently, affording broad views of the hills and lands beyond. The path doth lead toward Grayshott, a quiet hamlet deep in the woodlands, where the traveller mayst pass o'er fields and heaths, taking joy in the sights of wild creatures and the changing hues of nature. After a short stretch through Grayshott, the way doth bend back toward Haslemere, leading thee through shaded woodlands and quiet bridleways. As thou approachest the town, the path dost reveal one final vista of the Surrey Hills, bringing to a close a most rewarding and fair day’s journey.
Gird thyself for mire!
