Description
Steep hills especially near the beginning and end. Rolling countryside and woodland with some great views. A little walking on pavements and along quiet roads in Radnage, but this is mostly a very rural walk.
We are obliged to purchase at least a drink at the end at the cafe in the cricket club having used their carpark and toilet. Hot and cold meals are available as well as drinks. Toilet is available there at the end but the walk starts before the cafe opens.
Prepare
Dress appropriately for the weather, there could be mud so if it has been wet good boots are essential, not trainers. Walking poles recommended for those who use them.
Dress according to the weather, layers recommended and small rucksack for carrying.
Dogs
Well behaved dogs are welcome and will need to be on a lead in some locations.
We will pass through fields which have potential for sheep, cows or horses.
