The London-based hiking group for people in their 20s - 30s.
This walk heads from low-lying south-west London, near the Thames at Hampton Court, to the heights of the North Downs. The route threads its way in between suburbs and towns, staying in the green bits (almost) all of the way, climbing steadily before the sharper ascent of Box Hill and descent to a pub stop at the end.
Please bring packed lunch (even though the start is relatively late, there will still be a break to eat it).
