Overview

We will catch the 460 bus (see below for timetable) from Reigate to Tadworth and then walk back across Banstead Heath to the J8 cafe on Reigate Hill. A small amount of road walking, paths, tracks and grass, some wooded mainly open, no steep slopes. A few muddy stretches. Bring coffee/snack for along the way, and a picnic for the end (or buy something at the J8 cafe). After that we can catch a 420/460 back down to Reigate (unless you want to walk down!). Buses approx every 30 mins.
