We are the Guildford Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A leisurely spring walk along the Thames and the Wey over countless bridges, through green meadows and past houseboats, chalets and opulent riverside mansions. The return section follows part of the Thames Path and takes in the little-visited old riverside village centre of Shepperton. There is plenty of interest to see along the way. This walk was originally scheduled for March. The date has been changed due to M25 closure on the original walk date in March.
Please bring a picnic lunch and refreshments. However there is a usually a coffee van on the way out and we we pass a café on the return leg. For anyone wanting a shorter, 5-mile walk, this is possible by joining us from the car park next to Elmbridge Canoe Club at approx 10.40 and returning on the Shepperton-Weybridge passenger ferry. It is your responsibility to let me know if you choose this option and you should also check that the ferry is working on the day by calling 01932 221094.
The start point is the large free car park in Walton Lane adjacent to Walton Bridge on the south side of the River Thames. There is a café at the entrance to the car park. Please approach the car park from Walton Bridge as Walton Lane near Weybridge is closed due to work by Thames Water.
