Overview

We walk round the edge of Kenley Airfield to join the London Loop, and pass the Fox Inn  for an early picnic lunch before crossing the well-named Happy Valley and continuing along the top of Farthing Down to Coulsdon South Stations, where there is a possible drop-out point.  The afternoon is less scenic, passing the wall of a prison before emerging on Banstead Common Golf Course.
