Leith Hill Circular
A 13.5 mile walk taking in the Greensand Way and the North Downs Way and offering some excellent views from the top of Ranmore Common and from Surrey's highest point, Leith Hill. The walk starts at the Wotton Hatch Pub located on the A25, Guilford Road (RH5 6QQ) where there is free parking. From there the route climbs up to pick up the North Downs Way and on to Ranmore. You then drop down to Westcott before joining the Greensand Way towards Leith Hill and return to the start via Friday Street. If you have the energy to climb the steps to the top of the Tower (£1.50 for the 78 steps), you will be rewarded with views from North London to the English Channel and, on good days, be able to see 13 counties. There is an excellent NT kiosk selling pasties, cakes and drinks etc at the base of the Tower with possible refreshments, also, in Westcott and Friday Street as well as the Wotton Hatch at the end.

Robertsbridge Ramble
A 10.25 mile walk through scenic rolling countryside within the Rother valley area of East Sussex. Starting in the picturesque village of Robertsbridge, you climb quickly onto low hills on the north side of the valley, taking in some interesting woodland, the route of a disused railway line and the River Rother itself, to the isolated hamlet of Udiam. More ups and downs to follow, including a crossing of the Kent and Sussex Steam Railway, and after 6 miles into the walk, we reach the stunning Bodiam Castle for lunch, including an opportunity to visit the NT Tearoom. The return route starts back along the valley before climbing its southern slopes, culminating in a series of ups and downs across side valleys cut by tiny streams feeding into the River Rother before returning to Robertsbridge.

Vicar Of Dibley Walk
Turville to Mill End Circular about 12miles This walk takes you into to Vicar of Dibley and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang land using OS Explorer Map 171 Chiltern Hills West or OS Landranger Reading and Windsor 175 Starting in a Turville at The Bull and Butcher PH car park we visit the Vicar of Dibley village and church.,then up the very steep hill to the north of Turville to the Cobstone Windmill used in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Turville isn't only known for Dibley as it has been used in many TV programmes and films including Jonathan Creek and Midsomer Murders. Lord Sainsbury, the chairman of the supermarket chain also lives there. We walk into Fingest. The parish church of St Bartholomew's dates from the early Norman period. It has an unusual tower, with a double vaulted roof. The church is a Grade I listed building. We walk up another steep hill and then down into Skirmett and pass The Frog in Skirmett which is a lovely pub serving great food and beer (or whatever your tipple!) .Don't have too much though because you're not even halfway round, or this stop can be missed if people prefer. We pass through gorgeous Hambledon Village. We eventually arrive at Mill End. In the Mill End part of the village are a watermill, lock and villa. Adjacent to the converted barns and the ordinary home named Mill House, which had served for centuries as home to the moderately wealthy miller of the district,is the much larger, often-photographed Hambleden Mill, which has been converted into flats; this is downstream of a pedestrianised weir from Hambleden Lock. These feature in Jerome K. Jerome's novel Three Men In A Boat. We then walk through woodland and hills , through Southend and back to Turville for a debrief at The Bull and Butcher PH. A walk with some steep hills. Beautiful hills,woods,villages, Thames side and more Red Kites you can shake a stick at! There is some walking on a very busy road for a bit and at least 4 steep hills (bring your walking sticks :) )
