Overview

Train to Dorking then walk to Dorking Deepdene for train to Gomshall at 10:52. Purchase return to Gomshall. Walk to Peaslake for pub lunch at Hurtwood Inn or picnic, then to Abinger Hammer for tea. Return by bus to Dorking then train back to Sutton. Text by 1pm on Tuesday 23rd if pub lunch required. It would be useful if any picnickers intending to have afternoon tea also text by this time.

Before lunch, there are two uphills and after lunch a flight of steps uphill.  On the recce on Wednesday 10th, there was a muddy stretch towards the end of the walk but this was after heavy rain the previous day and hopefully conditions have improved since then.  However those who use a stick might find it useful.  The good news is that there are no stiles. Arrive back at Sutton at 16.41. A drop off at lunch (after about 2.5 miles) is possible by catching a bus from Peaslake to Gomshall and then return by train arriving at Sutton at 14.41.
