We will meet at Box Hill and Westhumble station, a popular starting point for walks in the area. We shall be walking a large loop around Box Hill but not climbing Box Hill itself. Our circuit will include Fetcham Downs, Mickleham Downs, Headley Heath and onto the North Downs Way, where I envisage we will stop for a lateish lunch with views south from the escarpment. After lunch we will continue along the North Downs Way and descend into Dorking by a back route.
There will be mud in places so wear boots. Please bring a packed lunch as there is no planned pub or cafe stop.
Take the 09:41 from London Victoria to Horsham arriving Westhumble at 10:37. Freedom Pass holders are advised to buy a ticket from Cheam.
We shall end the walk at Dorking station as there are more frequent trains by the return route to Victoria and also services to Wimbledon and Waterloo if you prefer.
There are no toilets at Box Hill and Westhumble station, so please use the ones on the train. Dorking station has toilets. On the route, there are few toilets but plenty of bushes!
