Catch the 09.00 train from Waterloo, changing at Woking for the 09.30 to Alton, and arriving at 10.09.  At Woking we should arrive and depart at platform 5, with not need to change platforms, but check.

After leaving Alton, we climb through woods and then follow paths across fields.  There are climbs all day and some are steep.  We should be rewarded with lovely views and spring flowers.  Lunch is at the Sun Inn, Bentworth - website link below.  If you want a pub lunch, please email Annette by Tuesday 15 April.
