"SUNDAY ROAST WALK" - Day Trip to Box hill woodland (5.9.)
Surprisingly extensive, Boxhill is rare truly natural open-space so close to London. It has much to offer the rambler and naturalist with many beautiful walks and views towards the South Downs from the summit.
Itinerary
Starting at Boxhill & Westhumble we cross the River Mole on stepping stones before going up on the North Downs Way with wonderful views out over the valley. We follow Happy Valley path, explore deep woodlands and climb up the White Hill. After lunch in Mickleham we carry through Norbury Park and finish in Leatherhead from where we take the train back to London aiming to be back around 7pm.

and further more there is nothing wrong to say that I was disappointed. I am used to go for a hike which is a 5 hours walk so for an avid walker .. yes it was a disappointment but I have got the gut to say it.... and read what I said I never said anything about anyone..... The only thing you are right about is that Eva was a nice person.....

Hi, to add my word....as I am a regular 'MintyTriper' I enjoyed this easy walk as the terrain was excatly what to expect an hour away from London with a nice time with people and lunch together (please note the name of THIS TRIP :)) Also reading the initary (Grade of the walk: 12km; difficulty: leisurely to moderate; terrain: hilly ) I did expect an easy and happy clappy walk. So THANK YOU to a great organizer Eva and also to everyone I could chat and share this great countryside escape.
