I hope you like hills! The classic Box Hill hike is a fabulous challenge, with at least 6 steep hills between you and your victory pint. Over 10 miles (16km) through bucolic Surrey countryside, this is a surprisingly remote and forested walk along ancient trackways and footpaths with striking views and vistas throughout.

Meeting point: Box Hill and Westhumble train station at 10:19am. There is a train that leaves London Victoria at 9:25 that should get you there exactly in time. If you would like to drive, there is not a lot of parking around westhumble station….but there is a National Trust Car Park close to the start of our walk.

Cost £10 organiser fee payable on RSVP. We have temporarily raised the price of walks to be able to accommodate smaller groups. As soon as it is safe to take larger groups, we will re-asses our pricing. For this hike, I will be taking a maximum of 15.

Walk Details: 10 miles (16 km) . A walk for all you gluttons for punishment out there. This is a strenuous walk with steep hills on slippery and stony paths. If you own a pair of hiking poles it’s a good idea to bring them as some of the hillsides are quite slick and eroded making for some creative and less than graceful descents.

The day before the walk, I will send out an email with my contact info and any other information you might need. Please note- the meeting time may vary slightly due to the uncertainty of the train schedule more than a week in advance.

Grade: intermediate+. You need to be reasonably fit to do this hike.

What to bring: PPE, Lunch, snacks, water, suitable clothing and hiking footwear. We probably won’t be stopping at a shop or a pub so have everything you need for the day! Click here-https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FLjSAczjgbZ26OKE4Iy_zX2IFqkybdXCmK9AkVfqI1w/edit?usp=sharing
