Kick off your New Year with a challenging hike from Box Hill to Gomshall! 16-mile, c.1000m. This adventure is not for the faint-hearted, prepare for a strenuous journey filled with steep ascents and descents, plenty of mud, and breathtaking views (depending on the weather) to reward your efforts. For those unsure about tackling the full route, there’s a drop-out point after Box Hill, offering an early option to bow out.
Firstly ascending Box Hill, where toilets are available for a quick break. The trail continues with relentless ups and downs, leading us to a much-needed lunch stop around halfway—both in distance and ascent—perfect for refueling before the second leg. Our final destination, Gomshall Village, awaits between 5 and 5:30 PM, where a cozy pub will provide the ideal spot to celebrate your accomplishment.
Lace up your boots, dress warmly, and join us for a muddy, exhilarating, and unforgettable start to 2025!
Please bring a packed lunch.
